You don't need to fly across the Atlantic for that. If you make $50k~$55k gross in one of the 9 US states with no state income tax, your effective tax rate is less than 10%, considering the standard deduction, 10%, and 12% rates.
A cursory search suggests that France, like the US, has a progressive income tax system, so a highly paid worker in France would also have a high tax liability.
