These attacks, if actually linked back to ISIS, would be very similar.
I think it was a different situation, the US invoked it because of how the attacks were carried out, it allowed more flexibility in terms of air support in combination with NORAD.

In Frances case, it wouldn't make much sense for them to invoke it as it would limit their options militarily.
