I agree with Glitziegal! Also the Sofia Loren look (even though she is Italian...) with the smokey eyes and skin color lips, with pale pink cheeks. And a chic updo.
When I think of the French style I think of natural. Soft waves or smooth hair that's not put up and fresh faces like mascara, flushed cheeks, porclein skin, and simple lips.
I think well coiffed hair (chignon or twist perhaps), absolutely flawless skin, minimal make-up - just the essentials: lipstick, mascara, liner and maybe blush. I also think of french women as very into the art of waxing. Beautiful fragrance, a must!

Clothing wise, again I think tailored elegance. HTH
Same here.
Also, a chic Audrey Hepburn style up-do and trench coats.
