Calm down Philgoddard... yes you're European if you're French but you're not necessarily French when you're European. On top of that, the author insists on both identities, he's clearly pro Europe while remaining French.

The important term is "citizen of Europe" here - who just happens to be French as well

The reason I ask is because I don't think a literal translation works here. Of course you're European if you're a citizen of France. Something like "French citizen, and committed European" might be better

What article? Where is it published? What is this "club européen"? Is the tone of the article pro- or anti-Europe?
I don't think a literal translation necessarily works in English, but we need some more context.

You forgot to include the context.
