During World War II, it is not in fact accurate to claim that France invaded Germany from the south. Neither during the first year of the war (in 1939-40) nor during 1944, when a mixed force of Allied troops (including French divisions) landed on the southern coast of France and pushed north against German defenders, did France actually invade Germany. As part of Allied (in fact, American) armies, French troops did participate actively in the offensives into Germany that occurred at the southern edge of the Western Front in 1945.
