It specifies that you cannot use your license privileges unless you have a language endorsement on your license for English or the language used for RT for that flight. So if you have not passed an English test you are only allowed to fly in French airspace and speak French.
Maybe the French authorities will issue you a basic PPL without LPE, assuming you'll only fly in France. But many other CAAs will not issue licenses like that, and some won't renew a license without it even if you historically got it without LPE.

I could very well fly x-country from France to Germany if I am aeronautically proficient in both countries' languages, yet not being so in English. > But many other CAAs will not issue licenses like that (...) I know for a fact that they do in Spain, France, Germany, and Finland.
