The official French scrabble wordlist is ODS. There have been three major releases of this; ODS2 (aka ODS '94), ODS3 (aka ODS '99) and ODS 2000. ODS 2 and ODS3 are available on the net if you know where to look. Here's a site with the new words in ODS3 (from ODS2). Also you can search the new words in ODS3 online. You can buy ODS3 on CD along with the official French Scrabble here.
