Based on the definition [1] promoted by WMF, I am
wondering if free content exists in France where moral
rights are inalienable, perpetual and inviolable.
I'm sorry, but in the definition, I seem to miss the part where free
content is tied to the "loss of' or 'giving up" one's moral rights?
Could you point me to it?
Thank you.

In many countries, the moral rights can't be waived or renounced (in
Mexico you can't). But those are not the rights that licenses deal
with, but "patrimonial" (not sure about the proper translation)
rights.
No matter how free is the image, the author will always remain the
author. That's nothing to do with freeness.
The right of attribution? When through time a person's copyright has
expired you are free to reproduce the material, but you cannot tell the
public that you are the author; the original author still needs to be
credited.
