Can an SFR expired SIM card be extended?

Next trip to France ask for a permanent SIM that can be topped up for specified periods and remains active SIM for 1 year after the last top-up receiving SMS even outside France during the year. They might need to register you using your passport/ID. Best part is when next year you are heading to France you can top up before your flight departure via your online account and then as soon as you enter France your cell phone is active right away. To keep your SIM active you can top it up a day prior to the end of each annual expiration date with $2 or $5 periods and this action extends SIM expiry 1 more year ahead. If needed use ORANGE or BOUYGUES TELECOM but make sure they provide you with LTE otherwise you may get a 3G signal that is weak and interrupted at many locations in France.

Apparently it is indeed only valid for 14 days (aka it is dead now), previously we had prepayed card (refillable) that you could find in any bureau de tabac but I am not sure wether it still exist.

The site for the plan you linked to has a "Recharger" link on it, unfortunately it is only in French. That would suggest that it can actually be topped off, you'd need to try.

I think it would be the way to go instead of a second party website. The translation by Google suggests that you'd need to put in your number and then get possible payment options, I'd try this first.
