Admission is not the same as the visa

For English-taught programs in France, English proof generally ties to the program's admission decision. French-taught programs require French-language proof separately. Check your specific program and current French student-visa rules.

Applying from Haiti

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Haiti — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. France-bound applicants use Campus France Haïti and study in French; English-taught programmes (US, Canada) need Duolingo English Test.
