Unless you change your registered address to the UK and so see a UK selection. Repeated changes will attract notice but an extra Kindle with a UK or French account works fine.
And folk have reported being prevented from buying more than six or so books while away or being asked to check with Amazon after months away from home.
The Amazon discussion boards used to be full of discussion of means of avoiding Amazon's attention, eg for Brit expatriates in Germany or Spain or German expatriates in Britain. "used to be" because Amazon have dropped them and restarted.

Yeah, I was pretty sure that was the way it would work.
It does seem funny that if I were in London, I could buy a UK only paperback, but not a UK only ebook. For that matter, you can buy UK only paperbacks on Amazon US. That's how I got Colleen McCullough's Song of Troy, which wasn't published in the US.
That's why I don't care if people 'travel'. I haven't done it myself, but it has more to do with laziness and lack of caring than any moral judgement.
