No, she did not discover them, but she did introduce them to France.

As a child she was used to eat this bread in Vienna. That is why it is still called "Vienese bread". When she went to France, she had the bakers bake the exact same Vienese breads for her for breakfast, and with that, introduced them to a country that had never heard of Croissants before. They became an instant hit.
