I discovered that these bags are called cornets (horns, as in
cornicopia, in German, "Spitztüten").

Obviously, they come in different sizes and types of paper.

From the photo on the following site, it looks rather that the cone
has been formed from a sheet of paper:

There is even a song sung by Yves Montand about them:

"10. Quel plat préfètes tu ?

Yves Montand : Cornet de frites
Paroles: Francis Lemarque. 1950

Dans un cornet de papier
Près du quai de la Rapée
Un jour on s'était payé des frites
Moi j'avais les mains graisseuses
Mais toi tu restais gracieuse
Et tu mangeais malicieus' tes frites
Pour égayer ton sourire
Des fleurs j'aurais pu t'offrir
Mais t'as préféré sans rire des frites
Voilà comment les amoureux
Font leur bonheur avec un peu
Un peu d'soleil et pour eux deux
Un cornet d'frites"
