Personally, I don't have a dog in the race. I speak French, @Smaragd .
As others like @patowalker have pointed out though, the French do deviate from ICAO standards by insisting on the use of French (in conjunction with English) at their major international airports. I do think that's a bad idea because it destroys the situational awareness of non-French speaking flight crew.

It can be confusing at St Hubert near Montreal as both languages are used at the same time, and there have been incidents. Of course if you understand French you still have to listen very carefully as Quebecois is not the same, but they still say it only once...

Fair enough.
So why do they need ATC at all?
