Owning a smaller sized dog requires increased attention from you. With shorter legs, Frenchies are sensitive to height. To prevent any joint injury, like bone fracture, sprain, or wrick, we recommend you not to let your dog jump on and off a higher place.

If you sleep with your Frenchie, and you have a bed with a high box spring, build a ramp so your baby can freely walk up and down. Jumping on and off a regular couch will not cause any harm.

It is an X-ray of a 2-week old puppy. Look at how much the bones have to grow before they would become a proper bony joint! That is why you should never let your puppies who are under 6-months old to jump or walk up and down on stairs, over-exercise, or to do excessive training. 
The adult Frenchies’ body structure is a lot more massive. But still, you should be careful with letting your puppy jump off high places.
