I think it's them mocking a Francophile girlfriend, whilst also taking advantage of her thinking they're sexy because they're French.

Bingo. There is a girlfriend/sexual interest kind of person in the song: the person adressed is a foreigner who admires Europe, or more precisely, France; so, if she admires the French so much, the "lyrical me" (as one would say in Portuguese) would be her/his Napoleon.
