PPL Compliant JAR

Thank you all for the information.
I asked the French Aviation Authority (DGAC), whether one can fly on a French registered aircraft with a FAA PPL converted into a PPL Compliant JAR (like the one delivered by UK Flight Training in Long Beach). The answer is no, with such a licence you can only fly in France with British registered aircrafts. And the French Authority ony accepts to recognise the american FAA PPL if you are an American Resident (I know an Englishman or Frenchman can be resident in USA, but it is not very usual, and I am not in..). So, a JAA PPL may be better if one plan to fly in European countries as the aeroclubs have (generally) registered Aircraft from their own country only. Could please anyone react to this statement, I would like to know whether I am right.
Best, Tango
