Midnight to 2 AM every Wednesday night/Thursday morning you can actually hear Trance music on Paris's airwaves with DJ Tiesto thanks to Radio FG.
Unlike the UK or Holland, it is extremely rare to hear any Trance shows in most of France.
Radio FG has an insane amount of good DJ shows every night of the week by the likes of Laurent Garnier, David Guetta, Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez, John Digweed, Antoine Clamaran, Pete Tong, Arno Cost, Martin Solveig, Bob Sinclar, and many more.
The station is well known for being among the first stations in the world to usually play new House records in regular rotation.
Based in Paris, the station can now be heard in a growing number of cities in France:

The station can easily be listened to online:

http://217.71.214.34:8006/listen.pls
It even has a stream that is time shifted for America

It should be noted that Dance music is very big right now on the radio in Paris. My guess is that the best selling French music around the world is Dance, as acts like Daft Punk, Bob Sinclar, and David Guetta are extremely popular all over the world on the radio and in record stores.
Radio Voltage in Paris recently went all-Dance as well:

Voltage is a bit more commercial oriented, but also plays records like Samin's "Heater"

Finally, there's national radio station Fun Radio, where about 50 percent of the music is Dance based, and the other half is Groove/Hip Hop

| This is different b/c my focus is moreso about a radio station rather then just a radio show. |

| Radio FG = Radio France Gay (seriously). Totally fits to Tiesto, Guetta & Bob Sinclar imo. |

The station started out in the 80s as a representative of the Gay & Lesbian community. At the time FG stood for funk & Gay.
They went Underground House in the 90s, but towards the late 90s they started to mainstream. At the same time, a growing number of major French DJs started having their own shows at the station.
Nowadays its DJ lineup is international, and is just HUGE. It's even bigger then stations like BBC Radio 1. They are very highly regarded by most of the big DJs, straight or gay.
People need to remember that this is a TERRESTRIAL radio station, one that people can actually pick up on FM and not just online.
They cume about half a million listeners a week, which means they're pretty influential. That's far more then di.fm, or proton radio, or any net-only Dance station.
Go ahead, take a look at the lineup of Kiss 100 London (which cumes a million and a half people per week), or Galaxy 105 in the Sheffield-Leeds area (close to a million listeners)

Galaxy and Kiss have great ratings, and lineups that are good, but not as good as Radio FG.
What about Flaix FM Spain, Slam FM Holland, Topradio Belgium, Sunshine Live Germany, or M2O Italy? All have a large cume, but none of them have the kind of ratings or lineup as Radio FG.
