Neither -- she was born an ethnic Pole, within the "Kingdom of Poland" (which was, at that time, part of the Russian Empire), had a Polish name, and spoke the Polish langauge until she moved to France. Her family suffered repeated legal and academic troubles due to their desire for Polish independence.

She eventually became a French citizen, and (no surprise) France WANTS to claim her as "French." But she was clearly Polish.
