The French king took up competition with Spain, Portugal and Britain in the Americas. But after the defeat of the Spanish armada and through the reformation, economic development moved from Spain to England, and from South to North America. And by 1814 France had lost all of its colonies, due to stagnation, revolution and the Napoleonic wars. Haiti was independent, and Guadeloupe was British, Swedish and then returned to France, and has around 400.000 people today.
France was the most populated country in Europe by 1350, but then population only doubled back to 30 million until 1820. While Britain quadrupled to the same number until 1850, not counting 25 million North Americans, mainly from Northwestern protestant Europe. And Canada had 3 million mainly British inhabitants by 1850, compared to just 50.000 French 100 years earlier, because the French never had big migrations to America.
France went on to build a new African French colonial empire from 1850 and on, after the abolishment of slave trade, in competition with Great Britain. They split the continent in two between them, with 30% of the population only in British Egypt and Nigeria, and with continued slavery in French West Africa until 1900.
