Only for certain values of the term "French bread."  Lionel Poilane (Lord
High God himself) claimed his breads were best on the third day after
baking, IIRC, and are quite moist and tasty a week after baking.  Any bread
made with a slow ferment and without commercial yeast will generally do just
fine for several days if kept in a dry environment.
