One option is to have your address space announced by a VPS provider
with a datacenter geographically close by and tunnel the addresses back
to the router on your mountaintop site. I've done this in the past,
before I had a colo provider able to announce addresses directly for me,
and it worked quite well.
Once such company who does this is Vultr (https://www.vultr.com/). They
have a datacenter in Paris and will do BGP announcements on their basic
VPS plans (which start at $5USD/mo.)

Announcing your AMPRnet allocation on internet is
simply a matter of
telling your colocation/VPS hosting company that you have portable
address
space that you want to announce on internet and route that to your
server
or router. That is a standard change in their portfolio, they do that
for lots of other customers and for them it is a simple matter of
configuration in their existing network. They know how to do it and
they already monitor it.
But this option is not always available in France. Several big
providers do not offer this option at all. And for those who do, it's
expensive. The cheapest I found gives a discount of 50% for hams, but
it still costs $80/month ! That's why a standalone D-Star or DMR
repeater sysop can't afford that.
That's the reason why a regional or National BGP platform with
ressource sharing seems to be a good idea to me. Standalone users or
sysops would just have to reach their closest plateform via VPNs.
