French children used to put their shoes by the chimney - or under the Christmas tree. The following morning they would find the presents next to their shoes. There is no tradition of leaving something (like milk) by the chimney for 'le Père Noël' (Santa)

Usually they leave nothing, as he is not supposed to be hungry or thirsty. But they leave their shoes by the Christmas tree, to find them filled with presents on the next morning.
