On the whole there is no problem taking fruit on any flight. The only exception I know of is that quite a few airlines in Asia ban durians, but I don't suppose that's what you have in mind.
Where you could have a problem is taking the fruit into another country. Quite a few places round the world are very picky about the import of fresh fruits and veg - Australia springs immediately to mind - but even that shouldn't be an issue between the UK and France.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hmm .... taking fruit onto an aircraft might be construed as having an offensive weapon, at least if you're an army PT instructor like John Cleese:
You can't take any fruit into the US, you get savaged by Beagles at the airport
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

The Beagles are lovely . . . their handlers are complete ****s
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yup, a friend and I were accosted by a rather cute beagle and a very aggressive handler at the airport in Houston because she'd smuggled an apple in to the USA.
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Fruit can be a problem on flights if it is too smelly.
Some years ago I was on a plane (UK to France) waiting to take off when an announcement was made that there was a smell of gas towards the back of the cabin so we could not take off until the source was identified; if anyone had managed to get something containing gas onto the plane they should inform the cabin crew. Presumably nobody responded, so the cabin crew started going though the contents of the overhead lockers looking for the source of the smell.
After about 20 minutes (hence missing the slot) a further announcement was made that the source of the smell had been found and it was some exotic fruit, and not anything dangerous.
You know it makes sense.

dch, probably a durian. This is serious issue in Asia but happily not often encountered in Europe. Apparently they taste delicious but smell like satan's breath. Never actually encountered one myself but have definitely seen the signs banning them in airports like Singapore, KL etc.

Bogusman, I've tried a durian. It didn't smell as nice as that.
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Can you take fruit in your hand luggage on a plane ie Gatwick to Grenoble
If check in/security get sniffy you can always wear your fruit on your feet. Works for ski boots so why not fruit
