If as you say you like the bike then do not change it. I assume it is a modern Hinkley bike, the only downside with them is their short range. I have yet to figure out why all the anti pollution measures seem to cause bikes to do less mpg than their predecessors. I dont see how it can be eco friendly to use more fuel.
But ride you bike and enjoy. Petrol can be had in France at most supermarkets. Make sure you have a chip and pin card and you will be able to use most of teh 24 hour automated pumps. Do not pay the peage tolls by card as you will get charged the car rate. You will probably find using the old 'D' roads a lot more fun and much less stressful.
