In your config file, locate the bit that begins
begin rewrite

and after the line for /etc/email-addresses, add
*@orange.fr $1@wanadoo.fr Ffrs

Test with 
exim4 -d+rewrite -bhc 127.0.0.1 -C temp.conf

and go through an smtp session:
EHLO localhost
MAIL FROM:<jeff@orange.fr>
RCPT TO:<steve@lobefin.net>
DATA
From: steve@orange.fr
To: steve@lobefin.net
Subject: test

test
.

And it will helpfully spit out a million lines of debug, but buried in
there, you should be able to see 
LOG: address_rewrite MAIN
and surrounding hints.  Check the fine manual (spec.txt.gz) for what the
various rewrite flags do.

Take care,
