Yes, but it will say 35x1 either way. Stronglight used a gold color for a left-thread/Swiss fixed cup. I would expect a Swiss bike to have Swiss BB threading, but I suppose French is a possibility.

Since the frame takes a 26.4 seatpost, I'll bet the outer diameter of the seat tube is a French 28.0mm, rather than the more common 28.6 = 1-1/8". If not, it's a straight gauge 531 frame, rather than double butted, which would surprise me.
