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.
