Indeed--not French only.
I can't find a numeric reference right now, but am quite sure published articles in Aviation Week & ST have given a rather high fraction of 380 component value to be Made in USA, though no major structural sections. Aside from engines, major suppliers include Goodrich, Alcoa, Honeywell, and Rockwell-Collins.
