http://www.openstreetmap.org/ for roads, maps, towns, general interest
polygons.

Corine Land Cover 2006 seamless vector data - version 13 (02/2010)
Land use polygon vectors
(http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/clc-2006-vector-data-version)

Maps for France that you can digitize:
 http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/france/

also check eea site for any data you can use
 http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data

Be sure to contact France Army Map service (the mother of all map
sources in your country)

Now for wildlife, those datas are pretty rare, my recommendation is to
check with any university that runs that kind of projects, and ask them
(politely) if they have any data to share.

I hope I helped a bit
