Not all French people are Catholics, or strictly observant of religious rules, so maybe half of the French population will not pay heed whether it is Good Friday or not. That said, it is standard that in canteens (either at schools or at the workplace) that the menu on (regular) Fridays offers fish instead of meat or a similar alternative menu, even more so on Good Friday.
