I was wondering if the best way to create landing pages and templates for these in Magento is to create cms pages? Write static blocks and then create a new cms page all the time or is there another good way to do this? Is a category page better?

The Magento Core Language Pack in French is available on Connect as well, and comes pre-installed in EE:

While I don't speak French, I would recommend use of core modules over 3rd party developer modules in general due to future support of new functionality (1.8CE and beyond into Magento 2).
It looks as if 98% of Magento CE (1.7) has been translated already into French:

But that's just the core. There are many options to provide translations to your custom extensions:
- Use
translate.csvin your theme - Providing a locale-specific translation of your modules, e.g.
app/locale/en_US/YourCompany_YourModule.csv - Use inline translation (javascript-based).
Best of luck!
Check that System -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Frontend -> "Allow Dynamic Media URLs in Products and Categories" is set to YES.

I do static blocks in CMS pages or just straight CMS pages. I don't know if it is the "best way" but it is an easy workflow when creating many landing pages for marketing purposes.
