I don't know about the French Navy but the US Navy has long had mature and adequate defenses against supersonic missiles. The US has been iterating on that kind of defense tech since the 1980s and has been a regular part of their planning.

OP probably meant hypersonics, of which USN / everyone else has no current defenses against. TLDR of a recent panel on state of anti-hypersonics is Pentagon hopes to have a "workable" defense against hypersonics by mid-2020s.
