Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I'm going to buy a 14Pro and I currently have a US cell plan and a french one with Orange which supports e-sims it seems. If I buy the phone in US, what do I have to do when I arrive in France? Go into Orange and have them add my french phone number there? I only want to use one account at a time depending on what country I'm in

The OP is already aware that Orange does in fact support eSIM.

The answer is simple. An iPhone 14 bought in the U.S. does not have a physical SIM card tray. When you get to France if Orange does not support eSIM then you can’t use that account in France. This not an Apple thing. This is between you and Orange.
What you should do, of course, is to call Orange ahead of time and ask them if they support eSIM and what you need to do to activate it in France. Better to be prepared instead of disappointed art the last minute.
When you get to France and can “see” Orange’s network, simply contact them and request that they reprovision you current nanoSIM as an eSIM on your new phone.
They MAY require you to perform this in-person as a way to combat SIM-Swap fraud.
Ask the cellular carrier.
My cellular carrier in the US does esim activation on their website.
If I buy iPhone 14 Pro in the US, will it work with Orange carrier in France?
