Most GUI are in french without problem, you must set your locale and
sometime install language packages (for example for LibreOffice or
Firefox).

See (a bit outdated)
http://diablotins.davenulle.org/index.php/Francophonie

The handbook
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/fr/books/handbook/using-localization.html

(smae in english, I don't know if french version is up to date)
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/using-localization.html

Here for Xfce I've just in my $/.xinitrc:

export LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-15
export LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-15
startxfce4

Anyway, most of the base system and the documentation is in english.
