I don't know if there would have been time for treaty-signing, but that's one of the V1 timeline's serious shortcomings -- I simply can't imagine the Soviets and Pact forces invading Western Europe and the French doing basically nothing about it. They would be in as much danger as the rest of Western Europe, they would be bombed like everyone else, and (since the beginning of the war was 1996), they would be facing a third invasion in one century. I think that even if the French weren't officially NATO in T2K, they would have fought alongside the rest of us against the Soviets and Pact forces.
