Yes, you require a visa to enter France.
Your "green card" status is irrelevant. The visa requirement is based on your legal nationality and the passport you hold.
A visa for Switzerland is NOT valid for entry to France because Switzerland has not yet implemented the visa accords of the Schengen treaty.

If it is for a short time, only a passport is required. If you are planning on living there you would need a Visa.
For France, it is much like any other European nations. You would only need a Passport.
Have fun in Europe. It is a fabulous place. I've just returned from a 2 wk vacation in Spain & Morocco. I am Vietnamese-American with U.S. Passport.
SWITZERLAND - *Passport required (must be valid for at least 3 months after leaving Swiss territory). Visa not required for tourism/study stay of less than 90 days.

Concerning immigration, Switzerland is totally independent, even if situated in the middle of Europe.
There is no difference if travelling through France or taking a direct flight to Switzerland.
I don't think a green card as such would allow you in - only a permanent US residence permit could help. But best is to read yourself in the official link suggested.
