That's exactly how I view it, and how many other place do too... haowever since laws can change from time to time... I would go back and ask them this specifically... as the French authorities do have the final word on this. I say that because they will likely answer only what you specifically ask them as they likely field dozens if not hundreds of questions in a given day.
I believe that's what they will confirm... many other European countries have tightened up eligibility requirements over the last 20+ years I have been paying attention.
Some have made it progressively more difficult several times over that period.
