Still a gift, but you will have to put the actual value down too. Not sure about French rules, but items worth over a certain amount will have some duties/tax applied, even if marked as gift.
I live in NL but from the UK. Wanted to ship a second hand bike that I bought in August from UK > NL but I will probably be charged around €300 import duty on it thanks to Brexit.
