Swaggy, this is from my other post after I contacted Dennis. In short, France is held very tightly by the government and licence approvals are very hard to come by.

"The seismic survey approval for France is expected around end of November, which will allow the survey to be carried out 1st half 2015. They are also hopeful (But out of their control) to have the first licence (Tartas) approval from France by year end. The French Government must be difficult buggers to deal with !"
Cheers
