Lol...that was kind of funny. I remember hearing from one of my many French-bashing neo-liberal friends that France had not won a war since the battle of Poitier in 732. I think that might not be entirely true, but when I started to think about it I realized that it could probably be argued.
It is true.  An American author wrote a book about it.  Appropriatly enough entitiled '732'.

What about the 100 Years' War?

Considering the fact that France was the superpower of Europe and the UK was a peripheral state with a 5th of France's population, and still managed a territorial win, I'd say France lost that war, though it was mostly a draw.

But the French eventually managed to force the English off their soil, which counts as a victory in my book.
