Hi , i see on the network tab , i can filter ip with whitelist , but i don't know what range of ip to put in to only accept french ip ?

Thanks by advance for your answer

Countries do not have a single IP range, or even a small number of ranges.  To give an idea of what this involves, see this list of IPv4 (only) ranges assigned within France:

It may be possible with some reverse proxy software to get an add-in for "geolocation" which would enable you to do this checking in the proxy.  For instance, Caddy has this:

https://caddyserver.com/docs/modules/http.matchers.maxmind_geolocation

which uses a free geolocation database which you download; I presume something similar is available for nginx.  Note that free databases may be less accurate in detail than paid ones, and that you might be well advised to download updates of the database occasionally (the free one used by that Caddy module is updated weekly).  You may need to check whether any particular chosen solution includes IPv6 (as far as I can see the Caddy one does).

If you have a decent firewall such as SophosXG or pfSense, you can also do geoblocking at a rule level.  

This is not something which emby can do - nor would I expect it to, IP filtering should not be done at an application level.
