Safe deposit box in france

Gotta ask: what are your bringing along that would require such heavy security?

In an effort to be responsive to your question, I doubt if anyone on this site has ever tried to rent a deposit box with a foreign bank. My guess is that you would have to have a relationship with the bank prior to renting a box. But I don't even know if that is true in the US. Also, recently in our area we are getting private safety deposit boxes that are not associated with a bank. Sort of like the private mail box system but with a much higher security system. A similar private system might exist in Europe. Good luck.

Sorry I can't help with France except to say that my experience is that French banks didn't want to do much for me a few years ago because I didn't have a previous relationship with them.

Also, I can't speak about France, but safety deposit arrangements are different in the UK to the US. Here if you want to put something away you have to provide the box - the container - which is then put into the safe, rather than the two key different size boxes plan in American banks.
