Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread loaf lengthwise into two halves and place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped black olives, green olives, mayonnaise, softened butter, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix until well combined.
Spread the cheese and olive mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Slice into pieces, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
