Last gig I had in Germany: it was 40h/week. I never seen a 36h/week schedule in France either... (I'm talking about standard software engineer positions).
In France base is 35h/week, 37/39 are frequent with the extra 2-4h hours then available 1:1 as extra vacation time ( RTT, you get hours on top of 35 worked over the year / 7 ( standard work day) of them over the year).
I'm currently on 35, might move to 37 ( majority at my company).
