Are you sure it's French? It looks more like... Italian or something... to me.

My guess on the first two words would be "copy of."

Copie de and deposee are French. The rest is Latin. Looks like two names, my son and possibly born 1676. You need someone with more skill than me. Dottie's suggestion is good. The translators are pretty good.

Please post the answer when you get it.

It means

copy of
micolaus amatius (is someone's name)
the next two lines are latin
made in 1676

deposee (means TM or Copyright)

Amati was a violin maker from Cremona Italy. Looks like a label from a copy of one of his violins with the maker date.
