I didn't find anything specific about Franch unfortunately, believe 
me I searched for this, and I've not yet verified it the holes' 
positions match ISO 838 or 888 or not (sorry) 

The punishment's code was written after taking measures with a ruler 
on a real paper sheet. The lines format on such sheets seem to have 
been "invented" by http://www.cahiers-oxford.com/LaMarque.asp but 
nowhere was I able to find any specification. It is really the most 
used format in French schools, although some related formats have 
the lines spaced or colored differently. The other most used format 
in France as far as page design is concerned, is with 5mm X 5mm 
squares, usually with blue/violet lines in a single width, compared
to the two widths / two_or_three colors used in the punishment generator.

bye, and sorry for the late answer.
