So the default dictionary is not for French, or so it seems.

Let's start with the latter: after you turn on flyspell-mode, type
"M-x list-processes RET", and see what speller are you running.  I
think the issue of setting up the default dictionary might depend on
that.

Is that in "emacs -Q", btw?  If not, please try in "emacs -Q" first.
