I was sort of aware of it.
If my memory serves the "French" team consisted entirely of English expats. I've a suspicion they may even have been diplomatic staff from the British embassy in Paris, but I could've imagined that part.

I'm more surprised that this thread exists than any of those records.

You are right. The French team, the French Athletic Club Union, comprised mainly British expatriates living in Paris. While the British side was a touring club, the Devon and Somerset Wanderers (alias Devon County Wanderers). Interestingly, the match was formally recognized as being an Olympic contest in 1912.
