The FAQ (http://www.basic-english.org/learn/duff.html) says "See Charles Duff who uses Basic English as the basis for other languages." which include French but I cant seem to find any online or ebook versions

It has a section on the same site for French (and also German): http://ogden.basic-english.org/fbasice.html

Those are sections in french and german, for basic english.

For basic french (~A2?) try Le Petit Nicolas.
