It is German, in Colum B you enter you entry date, in Column C when you left Schengen, enter the date YYYY-MM-DD, even though it will be formatted then in DD-MM-YYYY. Column I will say from which date you are an "illegal"
If the French multi-entry one-year visa is not a "Circulation" visa, the maximum stay is 90 days in a one-year period. If it is a "circulation" visa, then it's as you said above.

Not all French visas of this sort have been "circulation" visas, which results in problems of trying to stay more than 90 days in a one-year period even if not staying more than 90 days in any 180 day period.
