French roulette is the same single-zero wheel with one rule bolted on, and that rule halves the cost of playing it.
Under la partage, when the ball lands in zero, even-money bets — red or black, odd or even, high or low — lose only half the stake instead of all of it. That takes the house edge on those bets from 2.70% to 1.35%. The en prison variant does something similar by holding the bet for one more spin.
The rule only applies to the even-money bets. Straight numbers and the other inside bets still run at 2.70%. It is the cheapest table game after blackjack, and unlike blackjack it asks nothing of you.
