According to the Wiki page for WWII Casualties for France, they cite the following:270,000+ dead inflicted by the Allies
by one secondary source. Anyone have any reliable sources for French civilians killed directly in WWII?
Civilian losses of 390,000 include60,000 killed in bombardments, 60,000 in land fighting, 30,000 murdered in executions, 60,000 political deportees, 40,000 workers in Germany, 100,000 victims of Nazi genocide (Jews & Roma) and 40,000 French nationals in the German Armed forces who were conscripted in Alsace-Lorraine
The citation listed at the end of the line is Gregory Frumkin, Population Changes in Europe Since 1939, Geneva 1951. pp. 60–65. The book can be accessed here if anyone is a member of the Oxford Academic International Affairs site:

EDIT: added missing link to WWII Casualties wiki page.
