OTOH, I'd say

string en_double = ...;
double d = convert<double>::from(en_str)(locale_=en_locale);
string fr_double = convert<string>::from(d)(locale_=fr_locale);

If you want to stitch it all together, it becomes a scary

string fr_double =
    convert<string>::from(
        convert<double>::from(en_str)(locale_=en_locale).value()
    )(locale_=fr_locale);

or as scary

string fr_double =
    convert<string>::from<string>(
        convert<double>::from(en_str)(locale_=en_locale)
    )(locale_=fr_locale);

If needed, I'd probably wrap it up in a function like

template<class T>
T convert(T const&, locale const&, locale const&);
