Bonjour!

Where in France are you?

Anyway, yes you have to remove the caliper.  There are 2 bolts holding the caliper to the steering knuckle.  They should be a 3/8" hex.  Loosen them and unscrew them enough to slide out the caliper.  You do not have to remove the brake line from the caliper but you must support the caliper so it doesn't pull on the brake line.  I use a piece of wire to hang the caliper from the strut.  Then you can remove and replace the brake pads.  I usually replace the rotors too because they are cheap in the US.

Good luck!
