Well, actually France is one of the most successful markets for McDonald's.

France does not subsidise local business. In fact France is not business-friendly at all.

The French like quality food (and they also like McDonald's) and thus there is a viable market for it. That's all. It's the same in Spain or Italy, for instance.
