I'm fairly sure you have the right to a bank account under French law, but banks have the right to refuse you as a client. This means that if you get rejected as a client by enough banks you can go to the Banque de France and they will select a bank that is then obligated to provide you with an account.

I don't get why they'd refuse you a checking account, even if you were the founder or one (or several bankrupt) companies. Would they be worried you wouldn't pay their crummy fees? :-)

  In practice they don't. The comment to which you reply is 100% correct.
