To my knowledge Online.net (recently renamed Scaleway) does not sell transit,
and Free is not intereseted in neither peering (settelement-free) nor selling
small amounts.
The only viable alternative to reach Free seems to be hopus.net, where Free is
present and pushing traffic. That's a partial transit service, where you pay
(quite a lot) for outbound and get paid for inbound (just don't expect
anything meaningful for less then 1Gbps in). You can reach them directly at
TH2/Voltaire or via France-IX (which may be interesting if you're already on
their/our fabric and have less than 2-3 Gbps in). They have a unique billing
model - fill their information form for more info. They are also a decent
choice (technically good, price-wise - you decide) for reaching some other
"difficult to peer" networks (Orange FR, DTAG, UPC).
