The guy is a UK resident with a UK driving licence therefore although the French may confiscate his licence and tell him that he is banned from driving in France for however long not one bit of it has the slightest impact on his UK licence and his right to drive with it in UK or anywhere else so just tell DVLA what has happened and they will send him a new licence.

What to with the French is easy, just ignore them - don't drive in France for however long they say you're banned for, or if you do make sure it's in a different car and don't get caught speeding.

Even then because there is no national system for recording such things you'd probably have to get pulled in the Jura and by the same gendarme for anything to come of it !

This^^^^^^^. Apply for another license from the DVLA. Ignore the French completely. Don't drive in France till the ban is up. Simple.
