[spoiler=french french who cares]

Most of the "French people are cowards" thing comes from Americans post-ww2, and it kinda glosses over a lot of history (see Napoleon, the Normans, the Franks, and that Charles de Gaulle gave a warning before France was drawn into the war about how the Nazis would walk over French defenses which turned out to be kinda prophetic, though unheeded), and that modern France is actually kinda hawkish by European standards (see their basically leading the charge during the Libyan revolution, their response to Algeria's situation with Al-Qaeda, their outspoken stance on Syria etc.)

You can call the French many things, to be sure. It's just that "cowardly" isn't really in a respectable francophobe's repertoire
