Is there any site where we can register all ccTLD's?

I'd get my answer the old fashioned way:
Google query: Register European Domains [google.com]
You can also look up CC registrar information by visiting ICANN, which provides a nice list of the central registries. [iana.org]
There are plenty of options, as you can see from the search results, and, as stated in the Charter, we prefer to minimize "I vote for this registrar" type posts. The policy minimizes spam, promotional posts, etc.
As to become either will involve considerable expense ( count around $8500.oo to become an sarl ..the equivalent of a limited company or an incorporated entity ..plus ongoing yearly fees of upwards of $4000.oo ( minimum )that are fixed independant of any turnover ..( these can rise to much more for certain professions ) ..
Legal advice on registration in France can be obtained from the french govt sources ( chambres de commerce etc )in English and other languages including French via booklets ( paid for ..you must know the ones you neeed in advance! )..
Business lawyers in France are expensive to consult about such matters ..as are "conseilleur juridiques" ( there is no equivalent in English to that title that actually describes what they do ..legal advisors in english means lawyers ) ..if either advises you wrongly ..it is your rear which is on the line ..
Failure to pay the mandatory yearly fees or "contributions" required of a french business or trader or profession libre can and usually does result in automatic seizure of your assets ( by a "huissier". ( freelance bailiff ).mandated by the ursaaf or whomever ) including bank accounts and house etc ..without the need for a court hearing or order ..
Whilst this may appear to be OT ..it is extremely important to know that when you want to register a .fr fullfilling the conditions may involve you in a great deal more cost and legal responsibility than you would think if you are used to an anglophone system ..
If the .fr is in order for example to lock in a trade mark via a .eu ..or to rank better in french search engines or the eyes of french searchers thare are other cheaper methods which are just as effective ..and legal .
