They kind of got embarrassed by the Turkish navy, as they got 'checked', while trying to blockade the Turkish aid to one of the Lybian factions. The Lybian civil war is a war were there are no good vs bad guys, just different factions. The French backed one is losing.

France realized their navy is not up to par. It is like a lap dog that is all bark, but doesn't have any power to bite:

This decision has been years in the making, seriously doubt that a single incident is more than a small building block for making that decision.

Erdogan interference in North Africa began shortly after the Arab spring. That's almost 10 years ago.

This is a short-term analysis, but the project is a long-term: it will not be ready during Macron's presidency anyway.
