Sheldon says you can sand down a standard stem to fit:

The answer to your question is no. French stems take a smaller diameter handlebar. You'll have to sand a stem with a 26mm clamp diameter. It's no big deal. Both of my French road bikes have Nitto stems. A bench sander speeds up the process, but isn't required.
