All French citizens are issued a Carte Nationale d'Identite, which
can be requested on the street.

Tourists are required to fill out a card when registering at a hotel
giving your passport number, your country of origin and birthdate.
This card is delivered to the local prefect. 

I don't know what proposal was recently defeated in France, but it
couldn't have been a proposal for a national identity card.  It already
exists.
