From what I read, the main cause for the 0.3% GDP improvement was declining imports (which are counted negatively for GDP).
Not really an improvement of France/Germany's situation, in fact it shows weakness in the market for imported products.
This is also the case for Portugal btw. It does make a nice stat for the prime minister to quote before the upcoming elections, though ;)
