For cars it's about the same in France and Germany. Nearly all the difference comes from much cleaner electricity production in France.
And with very good reason: I believe thanks to France's aggressive development of nuclear power, they generate 78% of power electricity needs with power sources that doesn't immediately pollute the air with a long list of chemicals, something you get with coal burning.

Germany's electricity production is nowhere near as clean as France's.
Per capita carbon dioxide emissions in France were 6.1 tonnes compared to 9.6 in Germany.
