Just checked the cover and first page of my french passport (made in 2013).

There's 3 lines written in different languages in this order :

- Union européenne

- République française

- Passeport

It doesn't says "French citizen" either, just "French Republic" and "European Union" multiple times.

Yes it does, it's clearly written:

"Nationalite: Francaise"

NOT:

"Nationalite: Francaise, Europeenne"

That's your nationality, that's different from citizenship. The EU uses the term a lot officially
