The French equivalent of the recent Deluxe edition of the Lord of the Rings is planned for the 26th October, with Daniel Lauzon's translation, at Bourgois éditeur, just in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the French translation of the book and of the death of Tolkien.
La présente traduction de Daniel Lauzon prend en compte la dernière version du texte anglais, les indications laissées par Tolkien à l’intention des traducteurs et les découvertes permises par les publications posthumes proposées par Christopher Tolkien
This is being released on the 19th October 2023.

Those pocket edition covers really are very beautiful looking. I'll be interested to see how these turn out in reality.

Here is a detailed video on the first French edition of the Atlas of Middle Earth by Karen W. Fonstad
An exceptional work for its size, the complete modernization of the maps (and the errors quickly corrected from its first printing).

Who knows, DMRoberts, maybe it will happen one day 
Several foreign publishers have already bought the rights to this edition (I remember Brazil in 2022).
Probably less interesting for English readers who do not speak French, here is nevertheless the video analysis of the Lord of the Rings latest French edition.
Some proofreading and translation concerns, particularly with the textual additions (Hammond's note and 3rd part of the index), too bad, because the rest of the edition is very good and equivalent to the British edition.
