What sort of SIM did you buy? If you purchased a pre-activated SIM it would already have been allocated a phone number. The ebay seller that I used writes the number on a paper docket that he sends you with the SIM, like in the scan below. But maybe the system has changed and you should just follow the instructions in your thumbnail.

hi
I got the 25 euro prepaid sim
FRENCH ORANGE PREPAID SIM CARD WITH 25 EUROS CREDIT !!! | eBay

I asked seller for phone nr /pin/puk code, and he said they where send with
seprate mail.
but now i tryed sim ind phone and there where no pin code and called my self so i got the phone nr now.
The "card memo" is with sim but no sim/puk/nr on it!

As it is the 25 euro card it should be working for 2 month ?
and 1 month from aktivation off "max internet" option on orange home page?
I will be traveling ind week 3 so i will aktivate data next week on home page!

You can purchase recharge vouchers from eBay.fr.

I don't know if you can enter the recharge code on their website, but it should work by USSD (enter #123# pick up and follow the text menu on your display), which is free of charge even while roaming. You could actually try to access the USSD menu before purchasing a recharge code to make sure it works outside France (I suppose you are still in Denmark).

Apparently you can access the USSD menu. For recharges you would just need to press "2" and in the following screen you will be asked for the recharge code.
Regarding your internet options these are probably listed somewhere in the domestic USSD menu avaiable by pressing "6" ("Page accueil France"), while your photo shows the roaming menu ("Vos services a l'étranger" = "Your services abroad"), which is probably shown automatically while roaming.
