Yeah but if you've never been to France for an extended period of time before, they might argue that you're not truely integrated.

According to French law you must live in France when the government issues the decree granting you French nationality.

Quote:

Code civil, article 21-16

Nul ne peut être naturalisé s'il n'a en France sa résidence au moment de la signature du décret de naturalisation.

Having an employment contract and professional/familial ties in France is necessary imho.
