They financially supported us big time as well, the Marquis de Lafayette provided a certain % of the Rev Armies funds and I think it hit double digit percents but I'm not 100% sure. I know it was enough that the soldiers wouldn't have had boots without the frogs (hell some of them marched in snow barefoot as is but you know what I mean)
France was also the first country that recognized the United States as being an independent nation. Granted, it was to piss off our mutual enemy the British, but it still stands.
