On the site they have a diagram showing the level at which exhaust pipes from different grades of stoves can exit, and this one seems to be just a couple of meters up.

I believe flue dampers are not allowed in France.
You could always waste a few minutes on this site
I think the damper is for his house in the UK.

Thats ok then.
I think a Clé de Tirage are only allowed in the collar of the fire, its illegal to put one in the pipe in France, unless the law has changed.
Not according to this
Isnât a chimney damper and a draft regulator two different things though.
One closes or narrows the chimney, while the other letâs cold air in through a pipe to reduce the gas temperature in the flue.
Chimneys for beginners videos? Interesting, but possibly more complex French than I possess as yet.
do you mean this
time to find out maybe 
Access the site with the Chrome browser, right click and choose âTranslate to Englishâ from the drop down menu. Itâs surprisingly good and very convenient for this sort of thing.

Chrome is the one browser I wonât use, but iirc there are translation plugins for others. Thanks for the reminder.
Are the links on that page to videos or text? I can probably read enough to understand, but not interpret speech.
Fair enough (Iâm like that about Bing) but the site has a space for asking questions at:-

Iâve pinged off an enquiry to see if we can buy now but deliver in April when weâre next at the house, and also if they can offer a fitting service there. The prices really do seem very reasonable compared to so many stoves Iâve seen online.
Now to figure out how to get 100+ kg of stove up the steps and into the house.
Been there with a very large new woodburner. It took three of us. A must is to use thick canvas straps slung underneath to lift. Look after the back
Thanks for the tip. Iâm sure âlove will find a wayâ but it may include a partial disassembly first, especially if we get a solid fuel cooker too.
Yes, I have exactly that, all fitted to normes.
