This might be their first victory in over 100 years! Maybe the French have started to grow a pair. Does it really matter if they win while looking fabulous and eating gourmet MREs?

As the British Expeditionary Force (and many others) was evacuating at Dunkirk the remains of the french army fought on to delay the Germans.

After a few days they simply went home on extended leave?
