    You could try a tracert in the command prompt to see which "hop" it struggles with to reach the google.fr server.

    Edit: other ideas are to flush the DNS incase the google.fr entry got corrupted or hijacked.

    If you are using Orange/Wanadoo/Sosh as ISP, maybe this is your issue (thanks Costello for the source ;p)

    Maybe they still haven't fix it?
    You can see in the comments that the redirected page is not always displayed, the government website didn't support the load and went offline.


    for non-french users :
    the ISP blocked google, wikipedia and OVH access this morning and users were redirected to a page usually displayed by the French government when blocking terrorist propaganda website.
    They said it's a human error.


    to fix it, you can use a different DNS server instead of the one provided by Wanadoo.
    That's really an easy bypass, it's only annoying loyal and legal users.
