The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Heavenly and Fairyland, both power metal bands from France:

Noir Desir , but not sure if they would be considered hard rock , just rock.

Sortilege - one of Chuck Schuldiner's favourite bands, so seal of approval from one of the greats

There's also a great band called Watcha. Their singer is doing guest vocals on a song by a band from here called iBurn on their 2nd album.

Some excellent French Death metal here. Also, Bloody Sign are an excellent newer DM band, big Morbid Angel 'Formulas...' influence.
