You wouldn't even find such sophisticated wood here. Generally the quality of materials here has greatly declined, and is now on par with third world countries. My previous apartment, built in the 1930s, had solid chataignier hard floor, but it's impossible to find such high quality nowadays.
Most stores are only going to have oak hard floor, and like I said most hard floor is not real wood anyway, but just chipboard made to look like wood, or even just plastic made to look like wood.
If you're looking for real wood of anything other than oak, you're going to have to look for very specialized stores that don't exist everywhere and where it's going to be extremely costly (if it's available at all in your area).
And it's like that for almost all consumer products. Compared to North America where you have an infinite choice of everything, I'm always outraged at how little choice there is of everything in France (except food). Usually, for a given object, you have only the 2 or 3 products found everywhere, and that's it. And vendors are usually totally clueless when you ask them questions (usually young people from the suburbs with no expertise or historical knowledge of the trade they're in).
