Well as for design, I think it could use more work. Since I can’t read French, I can’t tell if the color scheme matches the theme of your site, that’s if it even has a certain theme.
The navigation needs work, I think you can do better than regular text links. How about some buttons with some rollover effects? Get creative, that’s the purpose of a flash layout.
Also I noticed that the bottom part slides out, how about making it slide back in then out to display new content so that it will be a transition between each section.
If this was my site, I wouldn’t have it sit all the way at the top, I would have it site dead center of the page, change the background to white, the apply a drop shadow around the edges so that the layout looks like it’s floating.
Well that’s about it, I hope that will give you some ideas. =)

Yes, that tree is their logo and they don’t want to change it! What an ugly thing!
