Oh yeah uh... sorry about the Rainbow Warrior. And don't let any DGSE agent anywhere near those two boats of yours.

  Apologies probably should include the deportation of those involved rather than their lionization.

    France is almost completely unapologetic over any of it's past actions. They will issue lowkey official apologies, like they did to new Zealand in 2015 but nothing will change and no one will be prosecuted. If anything, there is a huge desire to "go back to the glory days". It's pretty much the only country that is still so brazenly colonial (the concept of a francafrique is not even subject to any debate there) and they are regularly pulling "rainbow warrior" types of actions in africa even now. A good example is their complete control on Ivory Coast politics to the point of violently interfering when things don't go their way. They even had generals openly admit on TV that they greenlit almost every type of war crimes in Algeria, with nothing of consequence happening to them even after their own confession. The past is the past, right? So yeah I wouldn't hold my breath over the deportations happening anytime soon.
