"We are ready to study another concert date, discussions are under way."
Prince, who regularly comes to France, had wanted to give a free concert on the French national day in partnership with a charity, and the show would reportedly have been filmed for release in 3-D cinemas.
Prince's producer in France, Jackie Lombard, confirmed she had received a rejection letter from the Paris mayor stating that "two events such as a Prince concert and a July 14 fireworks show cannot coexist".
Lombard said another date in September had been proposed to the city for a concert in association with a charity that fights HIV/AIDS.
"In September, there are already two events scheduled on that subject, a George Michael concert and a concert for AIDS Solidarity. We could put a real spotlight on AIDS that month."
Paris city had not yet replied to this proposal, she said.
