Graham is quite right in suggest you are unlikely to get much joy from a DAB set in France picking up UK stations. The DAB system is a network of relatively low power transmitters known as a Single Frequency Network that make up the coverage. I forget exactly what the range is but it is not anywhere near that of traditional AM or even FM transmitters that blast out coverage. Suffice to say those trasmissions are not likely to reach the shores of France in any form you are likely to be able to pick up reliably. I don't believe DAB has taken off in any great way in France although other European countries do use it. In the UK we use band three (what the old 405 line TVs used to use) for our DAB whilst in Europe they can often use L band as well so sets brought here would not necessarily recieve European stations as many cheaper sets do not includee L band coverage.
