No, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu was not actually a victory for the French and so could not be considered the only French victory over the Viet Minh. About 40,000 Viet Minh attacked 15,000 French soldiers during this battle.
Not the French.
They adapted their tactics to the situation, using ambush against French supply convoys on the roads. At the Battle of Dienbienphu their tactics were sustained artillery barrage followed by mass infantry attack to wear down the French; sacrificing Vietminh soldiers in order to gain ground, as they had more soldiers to sacrifice. Similar tactics were used earlier by the Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans.

Dien Bien Phu, which was the site of a two-month siege and the fiercest battle after WWII. Link goes to a wikipedia article about the battle.
I believe it was because, the French were defeated by the Viet Minh rebels, which marked the end of French involvement in Vietnam. The Vietminh defeated the French and ended colonial rule.
The Battle of Saratoga. The colonists' victory inspired the French to join the winners. Haha
Decisive victory for the French.
The significance of the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga was that the French decided to join forces with the American Colonists. This made the French allies of the Americans against the British.
