You challenge, should you accept it, is to create a Holy Roman Empire that covers both France, Germany and everything in between as its core with no PoD before the death of Charlemagne in 814.
The actual function and constituents of the Empire itself is down to you. You can have the HRE act as a dual monarchy of a Kingdom of France and a Kingdom of Germany. You could have the entire area Balkanized, like Germany was IOTL. You could even have the HRE as one country, spanning the entire area.
