Yes. Even with the intial defeat she fought back. There was a French Army fighting through the liberation of France and all the way into Germany, giving good account of itself. There were also numeorus smaller French units that contributed greatly in various theaters, such as the squadron flying Yakovlev fighters on the Eastern Front.
Saying that France is not a winner in WW2 would be like saying the British aren't - sure they got trounced in the opening year(s), but came back to end up on top. Both needed some help to do so, but this doesn't change the fact...
