This is an interesting problem.
You would perhaps be best to speak to someone in France about it. I'm not sure that there are people in France who spend their whole lives studying Foucault - perhaps he's just not that exotic to them? Pierre Macherey for example has written important essays Foucault, but his main interest is in Spinoza, and he seems to have written at least as much on Canguilhem (who I believe supervised both him and Foucault) as on Foucault. He is retired now but maybe someone at his university (Lille III) is also working on Foucault. If you are comfortable speaking and writing in French you might try there. I know of at least two people from English-speaking countries who studied there with him in the 1990s.
Here's his website: http://stl.recherche.univ-lille3.fr/ sitespersonnels/macherey/accueilmacherey.html

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following problem:
while browsing through post-graduate "brochures" of French universities, especially that of EHESS's department of Political Science (who's research centre is named Raymond Aron - I am well aware of that) I could not find anyone (meaning professors) whose work would primarily deal with Michel Foucault (I have browsed through JSTOR, SAGE and persee.fr).
The question is therefore the following: is the university Vincennes-St.Denis »the (only) place« in France where foucauldian research is being conducted or has it become (because of it's »nature«) so dispersed that it is everywhere yet nowhere…?
If someone could direct me to some/one/place with usefull information it would be greatelly appreciated.
Best Regards, Goran Gaber
