I've heard of it, it's true that they changed a lot of things, even the musics.
And AFAIK, censorship was very hard on it.

In France, they did change the names into French names, but for the rest they
kept things rather well. Uranus and Neptune stayed lovers for instance. But on
the other hand, in the first series they made Zoizite and Kunzite into brothers,
and in the 4th they made Fish Eye into a girl. Strangely enough, French
adaptators seemed to be bothered by male homosexuality but not by female
homosexuality...

The French voices are not bad, but what is awful is that the voices changed a
lot during the series (I still wonder why they couldn't keep the same
interpreters all along...).
