There's no such thing as a "French LNB". The one that comes with the Ross kit will do. The question is over dish size. Looking at all the diagrams on the page Kymmy linked to I'm not convinced that a 60cm dish will do in central France. The spot beam for Astra 1N in particular, which is where the BBC's channels are, shows the borderline or a 60cm dish cutting right through the middle of France. It will be easy enough for you to pick up a slightly larger dish, so why not be safe rather than sorry ...
