I am not an expert on French visas - and you need an expert to advise you before trying to do this.
However, I believe that your student visa is valid only if you are attending the course. The school may well have informed authorities that you did not register/turn up for the course and the visa you have may well no longer be valid at all. (It is obviously not valid in the legal sense, but it may also be listed as not valid and you could be deported on the spot - with potential issues for every getting another visa. Also, without a valid visa the airline may not even allow you to board the plane to France.)
And if you do plan on studying there in the future shouldn't you be careful not to flaunt the rules.
