Jews today are chiefly from the tribe of Judah, one of Jacob's sons. Jews are documented as having lived in France and Germany in significant numbers since the time of Charlemagne, some 1200 years ago. Before that, there are records of Jews in various locations in Roman-controlled Gaul (France). See the attached Related Link for details.
If you're asking whether any of the 10 lost tribes exiled 2600 years ago went to what is now France, we don't have information on that (and it's unlikely).
Another Answer:
There are some who have said that the so-called 'Lost 10 Tribes' of the Northern Kingdom of Israel settled into Western Europe in multiple migrations via the pass between the Caspian and Black Seas - the Caucasus Valley. These would eventually settle in the modern Western Europe states. France is said to be descendants from the Tribe of Reuben primarily.
Like most of Europe, the Isles and parts of western Russia, they were invaded by and intermixed with other peoples particularly the Vikings from Denmark during the 9th to 12th Centuries AD - these Vikings were predominantly from the Tribe of Dan.

What are the lost sheep of israel?
The Bible says that the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin settled in what was to become the kingdom of Judah, while the other ten tribes settled in the area of the kingdom of Israel In 722, the kingdom of Israel was destroyed by the Asyrian Empire and the people dispersed over the Near East. Because the former Israelites assimilated into their host cultures and gradually lost their separate identities, they are sometimes referred to as the "ten lost tribes of Israel". Some people, unwilling to believe that the entire population of Israel would have so willingly adopted the religion and culture of non-Abrahamic people, continue to hope that somewhere in the Middle East, or elsewhere, will be found a group of people still practising an idealised worship of God and waiting to be returned to their former home.

How do you find out which tribe of Israel you belong to?
Determining one's tribal ancestry in the tribes of Israel can be challenging due to the historical complexities and lack of comprehensive records.
