That's very good advice. Most older houses in France user lime (rather than cement) based plaster. Lime does have certain benefits (including that it is permeable) but if you go near it with a steam cleaner it will be about as effective as stale yoghurt.
Other tips?
If you need to rewire, don't be tempted to install an English style ring main. It will hamper any resale and will probably invalidate your house insurance if there is ever a fire.
If you need to hire a contractor, do get a wire from a French specialist or two. The ones I've dealt with have been very hard working and good value.
