Can I ask my home EU State for a duplicate licence if it has been taken by another Member State?

My Polish licence has been taken and suspended by France (where I currently reside) for 4 months.

I no longer plan to live in France, and would like to drive in my home State as well as other Member States (and abroad). According to the administrative and judiciary documents I got from France, I am "banned from driving on French territory for a period of 4 months". I was told that to drive again (anywhere), I must change my licence to a French one.

Since I no longer plan to live in France, am I indeed obliged to change it into a French one? Additionally (and/or if not), am I allowed to drive in other EU Member States by requesting a duplicate of my licence in my home Member State (the Member State that issued my driving licence in the first place)?
