Answer from M. Flipo from fr.comp.text.tex
See the file frenchb.cfg (it's with frenchb.ldf in the babel directory) :
%% The command \FrenchLabelItem can be used to set the `labelitems'
%% for all levels in French. For instance, to get long dashes, use:
%%
%%\renewcommand{\FrenchLabelItem}{\textemdash}
%%
%% You can also have different `labelitems' for each level in French:
%%
%%\renewcommand{\Frlabelitemi}{\textemdash}
%%\renewcommand{\Frlabelitemii}{\bfseries\textendash}
%%\renewcommand{\Frlabelitemiii}{\textbullet}
%%\renewcommand{\Frlabelitemiv}{}
(In the preamble).
We can also use the standard Latex syntax and wrote (somewhere in the document
where the language is french) :
\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\textemdash}
This definition will be available for the whole document, even if you switch
from french to another language and then came back to french.
N.B. : It's explained in the babel french doc :
