What makes you think it's French? It looks like a good quality British 'small builder' frame from the early 50's to me, with those lugs, rear ends (Osgear style) and seat stay tops, possibly a well known one. A bit of research is called for, start here -

Trawl through frame builders and then readers bikes, I'm sure something will jump out at you eventually.

thanks all...i just wish i knew more about old road bikes...mtbs are more my thing ...but i do appreciate a well lugged frame when i see one...

the red oxide paint comes off very easily ...it looks to be sound underneath the thick paint...the grease nipple on the bb is handy
