It will need insuring regardless which itself may prove difficult and without French registration your potential market for selling it will be extremely limited.

If it's for a specific job you'd probably be better off buying one in France then selling it on, given the problems of getting it here and the major loss you will likely suffer when selling it that will almost certainly work out cheaper in the end.

You can hire too.

It doesn't matter where or how you intend to use it, the douanes, & other official entities will have an opinion, and rules, and can advise you.

I personally have no clue, but the following (if you can make head or tail of it) might help:
