Reference: definition of "master recherche"

Reference information:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_(France)
It says here that the master recherche replaces the DEA (diplôme d'études approfondies"
Plus, this reference from the glossary could helpe.

Here is a reference from the Ministry of Education site
on this page: http://www.education.gouv.fr/cid24150/que-faire-apres-le-bac...

Le master, préparé en 4 semestres après la licence
2 filières sont possibles : le master recherche, qui permet de suivre ensuite un doctorat, et le master professionnel, qui prépare à un métier précis et permet une entrée immédiate sur le marché du travail.

So it would seem to be a pre-doctoral graduate diploma, but I do not feel comfortable proposing an answer.
