In France, it depends on the provider. The ones I've tried:
Orange DSL would change the IPv4 fairly often, sometimes while using it during the day. Huge PITA. You could pay for a fixed IP. No IPv6 on DSL. I have no experience with their fiber offer.
SFR used to have a fixed IPv4 on FTTH, but now they're rolling out CG-NAT. Which is even worse, because not even DynDNS can save you. Not sure if there's the option of paying for your own fixed IP. You do get a fixed routable IPv6 prefix (/56 I think). Older installs based on FTTC + Docsis get a new IPv4 on reconnection; no IPv6.
Bouygues still seems to have a fixed IPv4 on FTTH. They're rolling out IPv6 with a fixed /60.
There are "pro" offers, but they usually require you to have an actual registered business, which does incur some other costs.
