You meant in the past. I see. But again it's not about France vs Germany, but about Germany. France declined from 1.9 to 1.8. As the US, as Britain, as Italy, as Japan, as pretty much everybody else. The same story everywhere.
Germany went on the opposite direction and as we're speaking, they have 6-7 million more people than it was forecasted only 10 years ago. That's the biggest novelty on demographics. France only followed the 2010's (downward) trend. Nothing to see here.
There were unpredictable things (Syria, Ukraine), but German government and society acted to improve TFR and specially to open the gates to immigrants. Results are there.
