I looked at it and got the impression that it was BNP's low cost product, aimed at a younger audience, perhaps with no banking record. I use Boursorama Bank in France and they're pretty good. Setting up the a/c and transferring over from HSBC FR was relatively painless, though they dropped a few of the direct debit mandates that I had to recreate manually. I think the account is free as long as you actually use it actively.
