With a sufficient corpus, John Goldsmith's Linguistica can do this kind
of analysis (and a whole lot more). It's not specific to French, though;
it tries to learn the morphological structure of an (almost) arbitrary
language through the analysis of a given corpus. So it probably won't be
as accurate as a hand-coded analyzer specific to French.
