Do you believe there were actual descendants of Christ that later moved to France?

Actually, yes, I do.
I never finished the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, but I did read enough to know that there is a lot of evidence to support the idea.
Even more than that, Europe is full of symbols that support the idea that this is what the Templars were protecting.
Having read both sides of the argument, I think it is very difficult to make that determination. I think its obvious that someone definitely believed that there was a line of Christ, and they possibly someone was protecting that line, but the evidence is not definitive and leaves much open to speculation. I doubt we will ever truly know the answer to that question.
