In France we have the excellent clarinet player Paul Meyer who is now more
and more involved in conducting.

You're probably thinking of Jung Ho Pak who used to conduct San Diego but is
now in New Haven, I believe... He also used to conduct at the Idyllwild
Arts Academy (many moons ago when I was a student there). Also Larry
Livingston, who runs the conducting program at the University of Southern
California (USC) is also a clarinetist.
