Is the website served under HTTPS? For example the company website I manage in terms of web development sells electrical courses online and I've served it under HTTPS - https://www.electriciancourses4u.co.uk
We've never heard of a policy like that and our courses go up to a few grand per person!
If the HTTPS is there then I guess it seems legitimate, maybe it's like you said a new policy that's really strict in France? I would be careful though. If it happened to me personally I would refuse and try and purchase the gifts from a different website.

When my wife lived and studied in France she couldn't get anything whatsoever done without showing a valid electricity or phone bill, because they had a valid address on them. It seems to be the only way in France to know for sure the actual address of someone.

It happened to me on a German site named DLGamer. I didn't even want to purchase physical goods there. All I wanted was a bunch of Steam keys to games. They asked me for a scan of my ID. I immediately wrote back to cancel my order and will never be buying with them again.

This is where my response would consist simply of a screenshot of the same item on Amazon's site, with the "1-Click Purchase" button highlighted.

You made me think of this oldie, you did:
A guy blows a stop sign in Philly and gets caught by a policeman.
Cop: "License and registration please."
Driver: "What for?"
Cop: "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
Driver: "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
Cop: "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."
Driver: "What's the difference?"
Cop: "The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop. License and registration, PLEASE!"
Driver: "If you can show me the difference between slow down and stop I'll give you my license and registration."
Cop: "Okay, exit your vehicle sir."
At this point, the cop takes out his Night Stick and starts beating the crap out of the driver and says, "Now sir, do you want me to slow down or stop?"
Now, do you want me to stop or slow down?

"Don't ask, don't tell" - or was that something else?
