I'd have to disagree; if the story were set in some French province, there wouldn't be any monarchy, and we wouldn't have seen a widowed king (considering the fact Napoleon was married). Are you sure gas lamps didn't exist before 1830??? Besides, how would the Reign of Terror have contributed to Lady Tremaine's narcissism?

Most likely, the narrator set Cinderella in a fictitious kingdom, probably more resembling Luxembourg than France given its diminutive size.
