OK, I'm going to be lazy with this one because there are so many good websites about the BF de ONU, so I'll just put them up here!
History:
(French Language)
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataillon_fran%C3%A7ais_de_l%27ONU
www.crevecoeur.fr/bfonu.php
(English)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Battalion_in_the_Korean_War
Uniforms and Kit:
US kit, but with a few other bits like the beret...
www.crevecoeur.fr/bfonu/uniformes.php
N.B. Because of the use of US kit, most bits are easy to find. Note that, since the cap badge was used until the 1960s it is not too rare and can be found on French e-bay. For the beret, it is best to get a British WW2 repro Tank Corps beret.
Reenactment:
The French Group Crèvecoeur reenacts the BF (see their link above). They also have a forum for any questions/points.
