FWIW:
We looked into adding Europe to my husband's phone but it was too pricey.
We stopped in an FNAC store in Paris and bought an Orange phone/plan for 79 euros.
At the end of our trip, we gave the phone to our kid (who lives in France) it was pretty basic but was a step up from the phone he was using. |

Just unlock your existing phone and pop in a local simcard.

could you have returned the phone to the FNAC and gotten a refund for it?

I don't think so. But I don't know for sure, maybe if you look at the Orange link, it will say.
We looked into the Sim card thing but it wouldn't work with my husband's phone. |
