It is unfortunately a very hopeless common US american corporate misconception that you can cover Europe by having a single headquarter.
You can actually, but not from France. You have to do it from a small country where people are multilingual. (Because their country is so small they have historically always been forced to deal with at least their neighboring countries' languages.)
A better bet would have been to have the HQ in a Benelux country (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) because of their central location in Europe. Especially Belgium which has 3 official native languages (French, Dutch, German) from the onset and where native speakers of all other EU languages can easily be found because of the European institution's implantation in Brussels (which is the capital of Belgium).
