The following is a list I've made of French words that resemble English ones but in reality are different. I'm not interested in words (such as "poison" and "six" and "fiancé") that are the same in both languages. Would you care to add to this list?
as
assist
attend
bless
bras
but
cave
chair
chat
choir
chose
comment
figure
fin
four
irons
laid
lit
main
met
on
or
ours
pain
pays
pour
sale
sang
seize
smoking
son
sort
store
tape
tire
ton

Assist and bless are not French words, but I can add coin, net and piece to your list.
Drat! I was careless with "assist" and "bless". Thank you for pointing that out!
I'm pleased to add "coin" and "net". I'm unfamiliar with an unaccented "piece", though. What is its meaning?
'piece' is a word that can translate as 'room' and also 'play' (as in an acted work of the stage). However, there is an accost on the 'e'.
Very disturbing words for me in english : actually and eventually!
Actually, they aren't disturbing anymore to me. But when I started to learn english, I couldn't remember their translation. But eventually, I managed to get it =)
But I think that those words can be deceptive for people learning french or english
