Are you absolutely sure there's no examples of:
"Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited" In some book descriptions on amazon.fr? Those books are DRM free. Check public domain works to be sure.

Generally speaking:
1) If there is no mention of Simultaneous Device Usage in the book description -- the book has DRM and is limited to 6 devices/apps simultaneously.
2) If there is a Simultaneous Device Usage: x line in the book description -- the book has DRM and is limited to x devices/apps
3) If it says Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited in the book description -- the book has no DRM
The French Kindle Store doesn't seem to apply this the same as all of the others do.

e.g. Amazon France

Amazon Germany("Simultaneous use of devices: No restriction" - translated)

Amazon.com (Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited)

Amazon UK (Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited)
