Since NW has no international first class, you can't use WorldPerks miles to redeem international first class on other SkyTeam carriers.
That's a plus for joining Flying Blue.

Here's a thread saying NW miles can't be used for Air France First Awards

Other threads say first is available on Malaysian and Air Tahiti Nui, but these are NW partners, not Skyteam airlines.
