Catherine de Medici was the queen of France in the sixteenth century. She ruled alongside her husband whose name was Henry. Henry didn't love Catherine but loved another lady who was thought to be the most beautiful in France. He paid her for sexual favors. Catherine de Medici brought Italian herbs and food to France, and French cooking was based on that.

What is the uniqueness of French cuisine from other cuisine?

Traditional French cuisine is reputed to be a fat cuisine. This is of questionable truth, certainly not generally true for modern French cuisine, and certainly never was a unique aspect of French cuisine. Other aspects of French cuisine include its diversity, inventiveness, or the nation's passion with its cuisine, none of which is unique to French cuisine. Both, those attributes might be cited as characteristics of French cuisine. Any region's cuisine evolves with disregard of political boundaries. Adjacent countries will almost always share many of the characteristics with a specific country's traditional cuisine, rendering any claim of "traditional cuisine of country X" questionable. For example, the cuisine in the south-west of France is very similar to northern Spanish cuisine, while eastern French cuisine shares similarities with German, Swiss and Italian cooking.
