The French working class are revolutionary, I believe that. The problem however is that an electoral alternative is viable in Melenchon, and while that electoral alternative exists as a possibility there will be no revolution.

If the state grants emergency powers to the presidency or suspends elections or something, you're getting revolution, because the only thing holding this back from being a revolution is that the electoral option is viable. If the state shuts that doorway on the movement then it has only one option and will turn to it.
