Go to this link re travel to and from Havana:
http://travel.yahoo.com/p/travelguide/854984 "Carriers
"Cubana, the national carrier, offers direct service between Havana and just about anywhere in the world (except the United States) and between Santiago de Cuba and Madrid, Spain; Paris, France; and Frankfurt, Germany. Domestic service includes daily flights between Havana and Santiago de Cuba and Havana and Holguín. (It's illegal for U.S. citizens to fly on Cubana, as it entails a cash payment to the Cuban government -- a trade embargo no-no.) Several major foreign carriers, undoubtedly more comfortable than Cubana, also serve the island; they include British Airways (weekly) and Iberia (daily).
"You can get the best rates to Cuba, particularly from Canada (Toronto handles most of the traffic), by booking a charter flight.
It would have been very simple to charter a Cubana Charter Flight from Toronto to Havana with basically no questions asked if everyone had a French Passport.
