Yes, but it also took France at least a month to mobilize. Because they would not go into battle without their artillery. Another thing that's quite odd is france mobilized to many men(1 in 8 men were mobilized). In doing so they brought major industries to a halt. To deal with this the Government released men need for vital industries, this demoralized men who were not released for the obvious reasons.

Also the French had tanks and aircraft that were equal to the Gemans, and equal in numbers. But most of them were not used.
