I was in Paris recently, and visited both the Cinematheque Francaise and FNAC. I can confirm that they both had amazing selections of Blu-rays, and if they had English subtitles I would have had to have checked several extra bags for my flight home.
I did manage to find a copy “La Femme et le Pantin” (1929) with English subs on Blu-ray and on discount in FNAC, so mission accomplished.

Re: The Future of Home Video
I was also at the Cinematheque a little while back (
) for the Marilyn Monroe exhibit, and the store there does indeed sell Blu-rays. The larger Fnac outlets typically have good selections too. It’s a shame the location on the Champs-Elysées closed, since that one sold imported Criterions. None of the others do it seems. I’d also recommend Gibert Joseph on Boulevard Saint-Michel(which is akin to NYC’s J&R Music World(no longer exists 
) in its overall vibe) and the Potemkine Store, which is sort of like your typical modern-day indie vinyl store except one that sells DVD and Blu-ray rather than music.
