Playing as GB and i wanted to do one better than just destroying France so i decieded i wanted to make a peaceful Europe with no major wars between France and the allies. So i conquered all of Frances regions and took their capital then i let them rebel and reclaim Paris, after that i offered them several of their regions back for peace and trade. Of course they agreed but to my surprise ive gone several turns after this and there is no more war, France actually held the peace.
It also helped that i had freed Brittany and made them an ally and theyve actually expanded and taken another region also Portugal has expanded north and they now have a border with France and they are also my ally.
Heres a pic...
