Like Emma I'm french and I truly appreciate KAF recipes that are so accurate (it barely fails...). I love the atmosphere on this blog and all the community sharing. Apart from that, as I also lived in the US, I noticed though that our french (and somehow european taste) is less sweet than the american one. For my friends and myself, if we follow recipes from US websites, cakes, cookies etc are way too sweet. So I tend to reduce the amount of sugar by 1/3 usually. Like using 1 cup of sugar instead of 1.5 cup. It's more than enough. Right now I'm baking the bakealong herb bread and I didn't put the 2 tablespoons of sugar.
