The best I have been able to turn up is the paid BD-logs service, which provides standardised lithology for borehole data. Open Geospatial Consortium data all appears to be listed on the Geoservices page, and does not appear to include a lithological database/lexicon. The French Geological Reference Platform does not appear to include a standalone database. The BRGM's list of resources also does not appear to provide pointers to any relevant information. Given that the FRGM is in active development, it seems plausible that this is not in fact a dataset that currently exists.

    $\begingroup$ At least now I have certainty and something to read. And it has the benefit that it improves my French reading skills, because I have to read the booklets that come with the survey maps. $\endgroup$
