I'm not sure about the exact laws in France, but I do know that honeypots can infact be affected by various laws. Here in the United States the government can't really use honeypots, because it would be viewed as entrapment. I think the issue is not wether or not you are allowed to set one up, but what will you do with the data you collect? It could be illegal in some instances to use that data to take legal action. Merely studying should be fine, however.

Most of people receiving aren't surely french however, if someone (maybe a lawyer, who knows ? :p) knew about the answer or had any questions about that, it would be nice.
