The answer to this depends on what you mean by french. If you are thinking of France as we know it today, then it would be Napoleon I.

Some historians (including some frenchmen) would answer Charlemagne. Others would object strongly to this on the grounds that he was "the Holy Roman Emperor", and also that he didn't rule France as we know it.
