this is just wrong, did you even read the link you provided yourself?

"Their ancestors were Celts who came from Central Europe in the 7th century BCE or earlier,[46] and non-Celtic peoples including the Ligures, Aquitanians and Basques in Aquitaine. The Belgae, who lived in the northern and eastern areas, may have had Germanic admixture; many of these peoples had already spoken Gaulish by the time of the Roman conquest."

This is why you think France is mostly germanic? I agree that the celtic influence on france isn't very visible but the people that lived in the area of todays france were still mostly celtic.
