No, not a French distributor for anything risqué, but a sea-watching site on the northern coast of France, The bi-lingual website:

http://www.leclipon.com/

has some interesting, though not high-quality, snaps of various seabirds passing the headland, and there are archives for past years. Updates are quicker at peak times.

A further site has been linked to from the page above:

http://seawatchcgn.free.fr/

which is devoted to observations and photos from Cape Gris-Nez. The home page has links to recent observations, plus species photos and also some short videos of e.g. Pom Skua, Balearic Shearwater etc.
 
This is a superb seawatching site and better than most UK sites Ive been to. Whilst working at Dunge we jumped on the chunnel when conditions were ripe for a good movement of skuas/jaegers. You get mega views of the Long-tails which often fly over your head. If you get the chance to go its a fantastic site. strong NW winds are best conditions. Birding in the surrounding area is also very good.
