Yes and no. With respect to the French specifically, there is no such thing as a tip. Personally, I think it's semantics but it's called a pourboire and is usually the equivalent to a few coins but not expected.

ps Just for clarification. My comments were based on someone dining on French soil and wasn't meant to infer they wouldn't act accordingly to tipping customs in other countries. Additionally, I'm sure you know the OP was referring to a restaurant on the Dutch side which is an entirely different ballgame as previously stated.
