Heard Kings Indian Attack is reasonable against it.
I just love Nc3 personally.
3.Nc3 is strongest. Having played the French Defense as Black for over 27 years and about 50 to 100 games against the French as White over the board, the following tend to be the most problematic for Black:
Against the Winawer main line, 7.h4! Just make sure you know what to do against 5...Ba5 or 6...Qa5.
Against 3...Nf6, the Steinitz (4.e5).
What I have been playing is a king's indian attack and making it a structure like a grand prix attack in the sicilian
here are 3 weapons: https://openings101.org/?search=french&color=white
Against the French play the exchange.... it's simple and easy to understand and follows opening principles
yeah... i'd rather just offer a draw

don’t worry bro we all know you’re Anish Giri undercover
I recommend the Nc3 French, but if you don’t wanna study so much theory, the Tarrasch is great as well.
The two knights is weak. It is far better against the Caro than the French.

Still works pretty well tho. Many people fall into it
When your basis is people "falling into it" or "falling for it", it is a terrible opening. Always assume your opponents play the right moves, burt make sure you understand what to do when they don't play the right moves.
I prefer the wing gambit idea
Sacrifice your b and sometimes your a pawn for a strong pawn structure.
Something that looks like this
