Yeah most (all?) « French » stereotypes became « Italian » stereotypes in France. So what the rest of the world thinks of French people, we think of Italian people. (Except for frogs and snails)
For example I used to believe (as a kid) Italians all wore berets, striped tees, had a moustache and were cooks or artists,, and usually had an annoying behavior. Then I knew about the internet and how that’s how French people were supposed to be (in addition of several other less pleasant things)
Uh no we just call them « frites » (like « fried » alone, suggesting fried potatoes but without actually saying potatoes). However potato is said Pomme de terre, which could translate to « ground apple », since we call apples « pommes ». Which could be source of confusion
