Your hours would count towards a US license, as the FAA recognize any training done in an ICAO country.
That said, with the new EASA rules (JAA is history), I think they *should* count, but am not sure. Why not give the DGAC a call? In my past experience they are very helpful. Also, the school you'll be training with in the US should know.

its the country that the school is authorized through that you need to speak to.
Most in the US are through the UK.
The UK doesn't have a problem if you were taught by a JAR or EASA licensed FI through a school. In fact you used to be able to count up to 10 hours from any ICAO state but i don't know how that stands these days.
You need to do a search for CAP 804 if its a UK oversight school.

Training in France was not necessarily for a JAA licence, if it was, get the log book certified and have a copy of the RFs Registration Document which should then be acceptable towards an EASA licence; the JAA does not exist any more.
