Other french users regularly ask me how to use a .fr domain name. I used to answer them to do as i did myself, change their main domain, because parking domain doesn't work with .fr. But, i've just learned that « Changing main domain names is no longer offered ».
This is a big matter. There is an organization, the AFNIC (French Association for Internet naming and Cooperation), which blocks the pointing of the domain name to name servers if the domain ".fr" does not appear on the server.
So we can not change the server names first and then park domain. We have to do the opposite.
Thank you to find a solution for all the french users of your services or to inform people at free hosting account's creation.

The other option would be to backup your site (phpMyAdmin for databases and cPanel/compress for files), download to local computer, request your account be deleted, start a new account with the .fr as the main domain, upload backups.
