Try this (as root):

LC_ALL="C" dpkg-reconfigure locales

If this allows you to run the command then you can make sure that "fr_FR.UTF-8" is created and that it is set as the default. (If you do not want to set a system-wide default then you have to configure the relevant environmental variables of your $SHELL yourself.)

If you still cannot run the "dpkg-reconfigure locales" command then you should post the output of

locale -a

grep '^[^#]' /etc/locale.gen
