That's very true. And I certainly wouldn't want anybody to be forced to play an army they didn't like in order to be able to play at all...there's not much point in doing something that is supposed to be a leisure activity if you don't enjoy it.
But I can imagine plenty of other solutions to Marco's problems, rather than sitting around complaining it is an impossible situation and apparently expecting others to sort everything out to his satisfaction
If there are no other local players, try to get some friends interested.
If no French tournament organisers want to run low-point tournaments, organise one yourself. (Yeah, I know that's a lot of work! But it is a possibility.)
If you go to tournaments because it is the only way to get games, not because you absolutely want to play in official tournaments, find a few other players who want to play smaller games and organise an informal meetup over a weekend. For a small number of people this may not be much effort.
Do what many frustrated, isolated wargamers have done over the years...play solo. There are plenty of ways to make this an interesting exercise, and several books have been written discussing how to make it work.
If you don't like the rules, use a different set.
If money and time costs to build up armies are too much, draw stickmen on paper on cardboard cutout to base sizes. At least to start with. You may mock, but that is how I started out at school when there was absolutely no possibility of getting "proper" armies.
