While I don't have the standard French references as to pattern etc. it would appear this is indeed French. The inscriptions and exotic motif on the blade are what is termed the 'Caissagnard' fashion, from a Nantes dealer who used these turbaned figures and the astral devices on his blades around third quarter 18th c.
