A statement phrased like a compliment that is actually more condescending than flattering, generally coming from a beautiful French woman.
"You speak French very well, for an American."
"I just love the way you embrace your round figure when you dance."
"You must have a fantastic metabolism. I would never be able to eat such a big dessert."
"How daring of you to wear such a lively color."
"Marie just told me my bag was 'interesting.' I'm pretty sure that was a French compliment."

A compliment said reluctantly through gritted teeth. Used by people when they wish to appear as if they genuinely care but secretly have zero interest in the subject. A favoured technique of narcissists to improve their image or hide their short comings at the expense of others.
French compliments can be distinguished from a standard back handed compliment by the use of a false sense of suprise (see example below)
A French compliment often ends in the person giving the compliment obtaining something they did not earn or merit.
The work looks great, I am actually fairly impressed given they have only been in for a couple of months- french compliment
