whose headquarters in France
Je pense qu'il doit s'agir d'une suite logique par rapport à ce qui était écrit précédemment. Je crois qu'il s'agit du siège (spécialement adapté pour) pour la France.

designated headquarters
While agreeing that "special" isn't the right English word, I believe you do need an adjective that conveys the idea of specificity. Hence "designated" (or any similar word).

French headquarters
I think that you can can enough specificity by making "French" qualify "headquarters." French tends to be a bit wordier than necessary, and this is a case in point. :-)
