Looking closely at the "square band", it appears to be somewhat uneven (not perfectly made, the lower edge of the band is not perfectly horizontal) so that definitely is a hand-blown bottle. It is certainly not a machine-made version. Probably 1890s-1920, but in France they made handmade bottles somewhat later than in the US, if I'm not mistaken.
ALSO, even though it probably is European, there were GOBS of wine and champagne bottles made here in the US that our glassmakers made to imitate the "look" of European "dark green glass" bottles of that type. You can find listings for such bottles in old glass company catalogs here in the US. So, we can only guess on where they were actually made.
