Yes. The Declaration of Independence was a great influence on the French Revolution. It gave them the basic idea that citizens had rights that even their king could not take away. The French people followed all the events of the American Revolution all the while that they were subject to hardships such as a lack of flour and bread. A more direct influence is that the French published a document entitled "Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen", which was modeled after the US Declaration of Independence and which Thomas Jefferson helped write.

The American Revolution came first. King Louis XV who was the King in France (the one that was overthrown and sent to the guillotine during the french revolution) actually gave money to help the American cause. The Americans could not have won the war if they had not received financial & political support from France.
Yes. The most obvious one is France, which underwent a revolution of its own against its own king and queen over a ten year period, from 1789 to 1799. During that period, France went from an absolute monarchy to a republic. In 1789 the French National Constituent Assembly used the Declaration of Independence as a guide to drafting its own "Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen." Thomas Jefferson even helped write it while he was in France. The Assembly first wanted to make clear the rights that citizens had prior to writing a formal constitution. As a sidelight, one point made in the Declaration of Rights of Man was a condemnation of the notion of the "divine right of kings." This was a philosophy that Thomas Paine had written about in "Common Sense", which greatly influenced the French people.
It influenced a lot of revolutions around the world such as the French Revolution, the Mexican revolution and the Haiti slave revolt.
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen was installed by the Legislative Assembly in October, 1791. This was 15 years after the Declaration of Independence which was signed in 1776, long before the French Revolution. It would be difficult for this French document to have any influence on the Declaration of Independence!
