Strangely, i see the dmca notices in France too and the content is removed from the search engine for me too while there is a french google...
Also, it is illegal here to claim that a content is illegal while it is not and ask to put it offline. So yes, you could sue them back, but here, big companies would never accept this kind of deal (5-8 years for the lawsuit for a low profit (500€ ?) ).
Edit: yes it is perhaps possible to sue in the US

Many US hosts ignore foreign notices as well. Sadly it's a double-standard. I've seen it especially bad from say Japan to the US. Japanese bootleggers go out of their way to secure US hosting and run their operations from Tokyo. France Geo-blocking US on mainstream tubes.. ..like someone said.. happens every single day.
If you think that's bad.. Take a look at this:
