First I'd treat it like a quill stem. Loosen the top bolt a few turns but don't remove it. Tap it down (maybe leave the Allen key in and tap that). If it moves, the stem is now loose.

Is there a bolt under the cap?
That would be the quill stem bolt- do what andrewclaus says above.
& probably remove the exposed allen bolt as well to disconnect the stem from the fork.
Man- they come up with some complicated ****!

Here's a link to a page with a patent drawing of this set up - It's called a "Monoblade" fork -
I can't get just the image out - It won't let me do it, so that's all I got.
Anyway, it looks like there's a hollow axle of some kind that passes through a couple bearings -
Probably held in by that allen bolt you removed.
If you can't find a way to get that tube out of the bearings, then I don't know .........

PS - Why is it that the French have to make things so mechanically difficult ?

- Right click to view in a separate window or tab.
