1...Nf6 with 1...f5 as a respectable second. I like 1...Nf6 because it's flexible, develops, and one may transpose to a QGD later.
I likewise like 1...f5 because of its great transpositional potential, one can avoid nasty sidelines with certain move orders. The mainline is quite fun from either side: 1.d4,f5 2.Nf3,g6 3.g3,Bg7 4.Bg2,Nf6 5.0-0,0-0 6.c4,d6 7.Nc3,Qe8 8.d5,Na6 (8...a5 is good too) 9.Nd4,Nc5 it's anyone's game, black's e6 weakness is glaring but unless something goes horribly wrong it can't be exploited. Heck, some people even play a piece to e6 for it to get captured where the white e6 pawn plugs the weakness! If the black king ends up on h8 he still has a fast route to the center for the endgame due to the open diagonals. Black has some nice piece activity. However, this variation is by no means forced and white has many viable sidelines to make black uncomfortable.
1...Nf6 leads to a Queen's Indian, Nimzo-Indian, or even a QGD.
1...e6 is also flexible and would likely be my number 1 if I played the French.
After 1. d4 there are many good moves.
