As per my knowledge, the Commission received by you is accruing, arising and is taxable in France. So there is no need to deduct TDS on Commission paid to you by the Indian Tourism Agency.
If your Income would have been taxable in India, then the Indian Tourism Agency would be under an obligation to deduct TDS on the Commission paid to you under section 195 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Regards,
Devendra Kulkarni
