France was part of "the" Industrial Revolution, along with England, some key German city-states.
France had benefited from the Agricultural Revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries, as most of Europe had. And it had the intellectual capital, infrastructure (roads and ports, a postal service, central recordkeeping, a standing army) to engage in trade and diplomany equally with if not in superiority to most of the world.
France lacked some of England’s success in the Industrial Revolution, and the difference may be attributable to the treasure it spent on revolution, wars and empire-building during the key period of 1750-1850, when the English were busy with their Industrial Revolution, and with repelling Napoleon.
The later Louis (14-16) supported scientific and industrial development with loads of money. It resulted in many changes for the better in France – and many for the worse.
And France was close enough to England, and rich enough, to share in any commercially available developments in England rather quickly. So when railroads expanded in England, there was a rapid echo in France (and German states, and Italy…).
