Yes, but France would not want to be in the middle of a bunch of nations that have been taken over by say .. Russia .. or whomever.
The EU is too integrated ..

England has had nuclear weapons for many years, mostly placed in ballistic missile submarines.....
however I really doubt that France would share its nukes... France created its nukes to be independent in the 1st place...

In the era of Donald Trump, Germans debate a military buildup
As the Trump administration ratchets up the pressure on allied nations to shoulder more of their own defense, no country is more in the crosshairs than Germany. If it meets the goals Washington is pushing for, Germany — the region’s economic powerhouse — would be on the fast track to again become Western Europe’s biggest military power.

Fearing U.S. Withdrawal, Europe Considers Its Own Nuclear Deterrent
An idea, once unthinkable, is gaining attention in European policy circles: a European Union nuclear weapons program.
Under such a plan, France’s arsenal would be repurposed to protect the rest of Europe and would be put under a common European command, funding plan, defense doctrine, or some combination of the three. It would be enacted only if the Continent could no longer count on American protection.
Though no new countries would join the nuclear club under this scheme, it would amount to an unprecedented escalation in Europe’s collective military power and a drastic break with American leadership.
