Probably as close as you will get and the price will be excellent.
Because it has the clip on faceplate the OP might be able to slot the fixing holes or drill new ones to fit them to the UK metalclad backboxes which he desires and would give the industrial look, and the fixings would be hidden.
Done that way and of course ensuring that all the backboxes are earthed it might just get passed as conforming by a diagnostiqueur.
I was reading through the mountain of diagnostiques for everything known to man on the property I am buying, on the electrical one every single item was marked as non conformité and dangerous, I never even knew what a puit was in regard to a wall socket until then, the sockets of course don't have them, nor obturateurs, nor earths connected, no earthing in the whole property, no 30ma ID's......................

@ Polarengineer, about < You should never be able to see the cable >. Yes, when using standard wiring, les conducteurs rigides H07 V-U or H 07 V-R or souples H 07 VK. For cables, already conforming to the reg of double isolation (U 1000 R2V and others), it is a different story. If not, we should ask the Royal Navy to fire all French electricians and the authors of this book, because they misinformed the public. |

That picture shows exactly what I have always seen on every industrial or humide installation, electricians have looked bemused when in my cellar seeing that I have used bends and couplers and to see my stock of them in the wallbins.
I really cant see the point of doing it the way they do, the odd lengths of gaine do nothing really, it would look far neater surface clipped. I have speculated before that its to avoid condensation within the gaine in a zone humide.
Of course asking an electrician for the reason why gets the same response as asking a mâcon why they dont point their brickwork as they lay it instead of someone else coming along putting up another set of scaffolding and pointing the whole building after the macon has taken his scaffold down & left site.

They call it métal & then describe it as plastic  |

@ pcpa, I was also a bit surprised and supposed: plastic as usual in France, but couleur métal.

Got me there, I was not thinking of double isolated cable, but then navy regs, maybe when running a single cable off the rack they have regs where supports, cable for the use of, must be glued or welded to avoid bulkhead penetration. Irl? are they afraid of cable crush in case of steel conduit and flying shrapnel? Interesting how the regs come about from failure analysis during combat. |
