Hi Dig, "romantic skiing" is not uncommon in France so I'm sure the larger resorts would have hire available. Decide where you want to ski and then check the links from the official web sites - most list the major rental shops at each location.

Certainly the major places like Tignes (a quick google showed up Sport 2000 at Tignes, Les Arcs, the Three Valleys and, of course Chamonix see here for starters and some hire-related links should see you right. From a quick look, Chamonix appears to give you the best possibilities and has a wide variety of skiing too (from easy cruising to serious extreme).

I also recall seeing plenty of telemarkers around Les Aravis (La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand) too.
