Yes, that's why I was asking. Unless you're under 18, you can drink whatever you want and enter bars, in France.

Mais alors avec modération, n'est-ce pas.

18 is for strong liquor, it is 16 for the rest (e.g. beer, wine).

I thought the limit was 16 actually. Under 16 is still fine as long as you have adult supervision. (IIRC…)
