Can a Will prepared in the UK for UK assets be signed and witnessed by the client in France, and if so, does it have to be witnessed by a professional or can it be witnessed by individuals?

If the testator is domiciled in England and Wales, then it should be executed and witnessed so as to comply with English law. The relevant law is set out in section 9 of the Wills Act 1837 (WA 1837) which provides that no Will shall be valid unless:
- •
it is in writing, and signed by the testator, or by some other person in his presence
