Like the comment above pointed out, no obligation to tip doesn't mean it's not poor form not to. I'm German and I always tip unless the service was really bad.

I'm German and I always tip unless the service was really bad. I'm not the only one. [0] Quick Googling confirms this is true in France as well (96% of customers usually tip according to that link) [1].

You may tip if you want (people may leave a few euros...), but it's certainly not frowned upon not to tip. It probably depends on the context too. EDIT: your reference [1] says that 96% of French people tip, but only 3% on average (it used to be more but has been declining recently).
