The U.S. has been pretty important in French foreign policy since … before the U.S.

Agreed. France is a close ally in the fight against al-Q, and was the first to assist with troops in Afghanistan.

The only point of disagreement was on Iraq, where they were right and we were wrong. The hatred and villification launched against them by the right in America has led to this atmosphere where their friendship is questioned, even by moderates who really should know better.

France is a better ally than the UK. Allies do what you NEED, not just what you WANT, and as a corollary they tell you when you're doing something stupid instead of coming along for the ride.

Note that the French were with us in Afghanistan. As were all our real friends.
