Hi,

I'd recommend contacting people from EAFE - European Association for Forensic Entomology. There are members from France, you can find their contacts here:

As larvae development differs depending on local conditions, acquiring data from your locality would be the best thing.

NHM in London have launched a key for identifying myiasis causing larvae. Although you are more interested in forensic species, this key could also be of some use:
