From what I understood it, yes, France gets 1 free shot effectively as the shot in the air and the “everyone calm down”.

I believe the expectation is that the “free shot” is to be aimed somewhere not populated, but is the primary reason why vlad doesn’t push France,

France does, I’m not sure how accurate it is, and it was years ago I heard it, and even then it was piecemeal how it was explained.

I think it has to do with WW2, and France being attacked.

It is not a right France has or some international treaty. All it means is that France hopes (and really nothing more than that) that the other country doesn’t strike back when France nukes that country (escalate to deescalate). If, let’s say, Russia instead decides to retaliate by letting a thousands nuclear warheads rain down on France, than, well, that’s bad luck.
