I'd like to point out that as far as I'm aware modern French speakers rarely use ne pas and favour simply using pas to indicate a negative.

Not to mean that says anything about double negatives, but French probably shouldn't be used as an example of them.

Thanks for the note! Although I don't think it makes it a bad example, there's no requirement that a double construction always be used in order to count. It being perceived as correct when used is enough.
