Carrefour's mobile product is also worth a look.

I'm with SFR (and too lazy to change for the number of calls I make) but credit time expires quite quickly, eg a 5E top up only lasts 7 days, a 30E one lasts about a season. Also if you do not charge it for 6 months you lose the number and have to start again (however, you can recharge it from the UK if ou remember to by a chit before you leave.

You'll need to Register first of course.

provenjohn, beware the cheapo ones unless you've checked which network they use. SFR and Orange coverage is fine in the Alpes, Bouygtel less so, others quite likely to be pants.
Also advise ordering it online now - resort shops often run out of SIMs early in the season and it can take ages for them to get new stock. This was definitely the case in Courchevel the season I worked there - lots of seasonnaires, not many shops.

We looked at many deals and now use:
www.lefrenchmobile.com - all in English
We just needed a French mobile number for incoming calls and texts and the occasional outgoing calls and texts.
The unused credit does not expire. Seems quite competitive against the other 'lose your unused credit' sims.
There is a €1.40 charge per month, unless you spend at least €10. Happy to swallow that.
We went for the cheapest option, €20 for the SIM and €15 of credit.
Coverage is good in the Tarentaise (Tignes, BSM).
Looking to get another one now as we're happy with it. Although we'll hold back just in case someone on here finds a better deal
