The French Communist Party never actually got to rule the country. It participated as coalition partner in the coalition government just after WWII, when it was very strong, and again in the 80s as junior partners in a Socialist government. Even in these periods France sticked to free market and shunned Soviet-style economics, so you can safely answer that France never was a Communist country.

The Communist party is declining since the end of the 60s, and except in local elections where it saved a number of seats through agreements with the Socialists, is very marginal today, garnering only 5% or so of popular votes.
