Need a sound opening to tackle French Defense

But honestly at this level every bluff works if well prepared

Qe2 is more played than u think.

The modern way to play it being 1.e4 e6 2.d3 d5 3.Qe2.

Qe2 is more effective when d5 played, that's why Qe2 at this point.

Then u can add many +25000 games...

I would try the Schlechter variation

But I think OP said sound variation

There is surely something that makes you say that it's unsound ,could you say more please

I was replying to pucin

ok ,i saw several games won by Ivanchuk with Qe2

Indeed, it is clear u know much better than me and strong GMs like Morozevitch (who played d3/Qe2 stuff several times with success) what is sound or not.

lol I am just resaying this vid: https://www.chess.com/lessons/why-simon-loves-the-french/odds-and-ends

French Defence : Steiner Variation 

just e4 e6 c4 The Steiner Variation of the French Defence tackles the French Defence while avoiding any fray in the center !

The Exchange French is fully playable for both sides. All you need to know is how to create imbalances. Equal? Sure, just show me a major French variation which is not equal.

How does this "tackles the French defense"?

Mostly after 2...d5 3. exd5 exd5 (3...Nf6 which transposes to the Icelandic gambit isn't bad at all, either) white plays 4.d4 and transposes to the Miesis variation of the French exchange, whicch is not very accurate (white should wait for something like ...Bd6 before launching c2-c4). 

There are also crappy gambit lines involving an early Qb3 which are countered quite easily.

e4 e6 c4 d5 cxd5 exd5 e5 is how it tackles the French Defence!

How do you figure you have an extra pawn or two in the endgame?  Asinine!

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 c5! =

Because in that one you're actually supposed to do it the other way around take with the c-pawn then push e5 and if Nc6 then d4!

This one's not equal, which is why when I play the Poisoned Pawn, I take on c3 a move earlier and play 12...d4

Only a moron would play 1.e4 e6 2.c4?! d5 3.cxd5 exd5 4.e5?! Nc6? (Yes, a BAD move!)

4...c5! And Black is already slightly better.  If Black does not know this, why is he playing the French?  Other than the pure exchange variation and the open Tarrasch, the French is all about attacking the d4-square!

Ah yes, it makes sense.

This way of playing is so stupid, that I wonder why haven't I thought  about it before... 

What makes you think that Black will allow d2-d4 and not play ...c5 or even ...d4?

How about the KIA?
