Surely the available parent has legal custody of the child. That should be sufficient. The problem may be more leaving the States than entering France.
A notarized letter from the parent who has legal custody. Medical insurance information wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
Google " single parent travel consent letter" and there are forms that you can
print & fill out for traveling with a minor. A notary will be needed. I did this for
my up coming trip with my 15 year old niece.
You need to be sure that the available parent has sole custody. If not - you will have to have permission from both parents - as well as approval to oversee the child's medical care - and naturally her passport. Also assume they will want to see her return ticket to know she will be returning to the US within the 90 day tourist visa limit.
