Presumably the name servers for .fr are rejecting zone transfer
requests for that zone that come from unapproved addresses. Most
top-level domain servers do this. It's usually done for a combination
of anti-spam and operational reasons. [These servers should not be
burdened by handing out top-level domains to the whole world.] If you
want a a copy of the .fr zone, ask nic at nic.fr and if you have a
convincing reason, they will probably make it available to you via ftp
but not via a zone transfer.
