The nintendo Wii does support Regional Lockout, which is stated as follows
* Japan and Asia (NTSC-J).
* North America and NTSC territories.
* Europe, Australia and PAL/SECAM territories.

take a look at this image, and decide

Since Europe and Australia are both PAL regions the games will be compatable.
The main differences between PAL and NTSC are that NTSC images have 525 lines at 60Hz and PAL has 625 lines at 50Hz

no, as france operates secam, not pal or pal/secam, somewhere else in europe, such as the UK.
