Irv is correct.

Unless home is another Schengen country (which the UK is not), then you have to enter and exit France at a Customs field. This can either be an airport of entry, or via one of the 30 or so fields that permit customs to be made available "on demand".

You can only be granted an exception by the Prefecture of the Departement in which your intended field lies. This was never granted willingly, and in the current climate, I would think that the chances are somewhat less than "0".
