collecting in France?

[Niklas Wahlberg]

Hello,
     I'm visiting southern France for two weeks (the Carcassone region) and 
am wondering whether France has any restrictions on collecting butterflies? 
Of course endangered and protected species are not allowed to be collected, 
but is France like Germany and Spain, where butterflies are not allowed to 
be touched without an official permit? Thanks for any information!

Cheers,
Niklas
