It is possible, but you may need to have a credit or debit card valid in France. You will choose the keyboard language when specifying the configuration of the computer.


If you go to the French Apple Store, click on Mac at the top and select your product - an iMac or MacBook Pro or Air. Then click on the blue button which in English is Buy, but in French is Acheter. Select which model you want and then this will take you to another page to make choices about the computer itself such as size of drive, RAM and so on. One of these choices is the keyboard language: Langue du clavier. Select Allemand (German) and proceed through to the checkout.


Take note too of the date of availability of the unit you are buying. The new M1 Macs have a high demand and will take longer to supply.


I've added some screen shots to illustrate this.
