iPad Cellar and wifi ...can this be purchased in USA and used in France?

I would like to buy an iPad in the USA as a gift for someone in France. If I want to buy an iPad Cellular with WIFI will it work since the USA carriers are not carriers in France?

Yes. You can use your new Cellular iPad overseas on overseas cellular networks with a local SIM.

*local = non-US SIM

From iPad mini webpage:

iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular can roam worldwide on GSM/UMTS networks. In countries without compatible LTE networks, iPad mini will operate on GSM network technologies such as HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card from a local carrier.
