Probably Latin, since French is a "romance" language, which has nothing to do with love. It means a language derived from the language of the Roman Empire-- which includes not just French but Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. As with all of these languages, French evolved gradually from its Latin origins and ultimately became a distinct language; but its early version was very different from the French we see today (just like the English of Chaucer's day is quite different from modern English). During the period from about 800-1000, something that resembled French was beginning to be seen; by the time of the Renaissance, the language had evolved into something we could recognize even today.
