My theory for France is the fact they use a lot of nuclear power and comparatively less fossil fuels than other countries makes it easier to acknowledge the issue and feel good about doing better than other countries without actually changing things. I think this is similar to how Québec pretty consistently polls more environmentalist than other Canadian provinces (95% of electricity comes from hydro because we have a lot of rivers)
