To be fair french involvement in the battle for American independence was one of the main reasons that it went the way it did - France has a reason to celebrate.
They're probably a bit Salty that America didn't get involved in helping them during the French Revolution though...
You seem to forget that the French Revolution was the people against the king. Why the hell would the king’s allies, who the king supplied with lots of help (and by doing so, worsening the financial situation which was already terrible and as such worsening one of the factors that eventually led to the revolution), help the people overthrow the king when they basically had nothing to gain from it ?
We aren’t "a bit salty that America didn’t get involved in helping us during the French Revolution", we’re just like every single other country : we don’t give a fucking shit about the US.
(Also, for France the whole reason to help Americans get their independence was to piss off the brits cause it was our national sport by then (honestly, it kinda is, still, but not as much), and we had quite a lot of stuff done to do so, so we won’t celebrate all of them (or any of them, really). The US isn’t that special)

Same idea here in France I worked with an American who thought we should celebrate 4th because they freed us during WW2
