I think he means along the lines of this joke:

"Want to buy a French rifle? It's only been dropped once!"

Wiki:
The white flag is an internationally recognized protective sign of truce or ceasefire, and request for negotiation. It is also used to symbolise surrender

Surrender is when soldiers, nations, or other combatants stop fighting and become prisoners of war, either as individuals or when ordered to by their officers. A white flag is often used to surrender, as is the gesture of raising one's hands empty and open above one's head.

During the period of the Ancien Régime, in the 18th century, the royal standard of France became a plain white flag, sometimes covered in fleur-de-lis or bearing the ensigns of the Order of the Holy Spirit. The white color was also used as a symbol of military command, by the commanding officer of a French army.

After the French Revolution, in 1794, the Tricolor was adopted as the official flag of France The white flag quickly became a symbol of French royalists. During the Bourbon Restoration period in France, it replaced the Tricolor, seen as a symbol of regicide. The French troops fighting in the American War of Independence fought under the white flag. It was finally abandoned in 1830, with the July Revolution.

In 1873, an attempt to reestablish the monarchy failed because of the refusal of Henri, comte de Chambord to accept the Tricolor. He demanded the return of the white flag before he would accept the throne.



Each of the above apply to the french
