Well thats an interesting question. But since secularist France pays little attention to ethnic identity and tries to impose the EU on others and allows Islamic immigrants in droves to displace its native population. In that case, yes you could make the argument that secularist France is not culturally European.
This sorta reminds me of what Charles Peguy and other French Catholic intellectuals of the 20th century argued, that industrial society was destroying the traditional French identity while the peasantry were the main guardians of France's identity. As Peguy once stated, it was no accident that peasants are Catholic while workers are not.
