There are actually a couple of countries that have done similar things, albeit none to the extent that you've described for France. Germany was the first one to (partially) turn off the cameras.. a couple of weeks into the first season, they've introduced the camera-free hour in the bedrooms in response to criticism about them having no privacy at all. Later on, instead of switching off the cameras in the bedroom, they've introduced a separate bedroom and you had to request access to that room. They haven't done it for Celebrity Big Brother though and don't do it for the current civilian season.
I think housemates in Spain are also able to request some time without cameras but it was at Big Brother's discretion if they were granted that time. I think it was rather done to encourage couples to do it and thus deepen the relationship, not so much for single people having some privacy.
