Wow, this one is really all over the place. I had a closer look. It's very interesting.

The text includes a Latin paragraph for each month, and this Latin (not French) has an effect on the way the month names are used in the vernacular parts. For example, the ablative form of "September" is "Septembre". So when you want to say "in September" in Latin, you use the ablative form: "in Septembre". 

And indeed, the scribe uses the Latin ablative form whenever he says "in month", even in the vernacular.

So long story short: this has nothing to do with French, but it's rather standard scribal showboating with Latin phrases. In the VM, however, we see what must be nominative cases, making French influence the most likely option.
