It's history has been widely disputed. Undisputedly created at the New York Bar in Paris, France, the dispute is over what city made it popular: New York City or New Orleans.
My personal opinion: New Orleans. New Orleans is a city that is rich with cocktail history. No. I am not talking about the "hand grenades" in the French Quarter. I am referring to New Orleans creating such famous drinks as the Sazerac and other classic cocktails. Check out this article from iheartnola.com for more on the history of the French 75.
New Orleans and the French 75
Now....here is the recipe for the French 75:
In a champagne glass:
1 ounce Gin
3/4 ounce simple syrup
1/2 ounce lemon juice
Fill with champagne
Be warned: limit yourself on this one, especially in the morning on an empty stomach. These can get you into some trouble.
