Not a good feeling.

But this is simply not the case. The only places where this is prohibited in France is within government schools and maybe some government buildings, and not when you go out in public.
Dress codes in schools is nothing new. See uniform and various other requirements at many institutions around the world.
Deal with it, take your hat off when you walk into a building like some guys too. Your discomfort in a government building isn't necessarily something that is protected.
As much of a rallying cry against oppression your headgear is, it's fairly unimportant considering the actual discrimination that occurs against Muslims in the Western World, as well as much of the actions of Muslims themselves in their neck of the woods.
