i really like all things France and want to find a character that personifies France :)
Hetalia: Axis Powers is this during WWII.
France (フランス, Furansu) is an overly-romantic, carefree man. In the series, he is shown to have a long-held rivalry with England. He makes sexual passes at many characters. France explains away his long history of military defeats as a joke from God, but he believes he is gifted with his “charms” and his supreme cooking skills.
Girls und Panzer
Scandinavia and the World (comic)
It even has two Frances!
It’s only a matter of time before they make “The Polandball Movie”
Hon hon hon
Asterix
and Obelix
Not specifically French, but Hetalia is straight up countries as people.
Yeah, I’d stay far away from this one. It has every power of WW2 personified as an anime boy. If I had the word hate… you know the rest. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan shouldn’t be turned into anime boys.
Does a webcomic count as a franchise? https://satwcomic.com/
And here are all of France’s appearances: https://satwcomic.com/the-world/france
Polandball would be another web comic like that. Although the characters are just circles with flags in them, so no idea how useful that is.
Punch-Out! Wii has you fighting caricatures of various nationalities
Maybe I am completely misunderstanding, but wouldn’t Marianne be the main character representing France?
Dexter’s Lab but only for one episode.
Omelette du fromage!
Pepe le Pew?
Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room with Pierre and Suzette.
How about these happy little friends?
