Gosh. I've never seen that before. Very pretty indeed. As White, I would decline that gambit and play 3. Nd2 without a moment's hesitation. Looks like an improved version for Black of the St. George Defence gambit line against 3. c4 (Black hasn't needed to play ..., a6) and Black's play in the St. George line is pretty hard to play against in practice.

I don't play the French, I discovered it by chance while looking at the database, and it seems like quite a playable gambit.
