You've probably just seen the special counter-terrorism forces at one of the big French airports like CDG, as part of Vigipirate plan. These are not police but military. Half of city police forces don't even have firearms, let alone rifles.

This was not at an airport. I saw them definitely at least once just in the street, and also at some tourist attractions.

Yes, they are part of the counter terrorist effort, called Vigipirate. They are military.
