The challenge is to have using the recognisable interwar period and therefore a PoD no earlier than say 1925 to change the political situation in France so that open civil war occurs between a leftist popular front government - possibly the OTL one, and openly fascist rebellious military/open politically motivated conflict failing that. Any method or plausible scenario is fine. The difficulty I foresee is the overall greater stability of French democracy and the lack of divisive elements in the constitution.
What occurred to me on this thought is changing the situation of the 6 Feb 1934 crises or avoiding it instead having escalating fascist/leftist violence and thus avoiding the wake up call for the left. Then having the fascist supporters rise in around 1936 or whenever a weak left wing government takes control.
