The UK and France have a Double Taxation Convention which ensures that people living and working between these two countries only have to pay tax in one. As a result, no one employed by a UK company and who is a resident in the UK but decides to work from home in France will be liable to pay tax in both countries.
Do foreign workers pay national insurance in UK?

What happens if you live in France but work in UK?

Can a UK employee work in another country and still pay UK NICs?
Workers temporarily posted by their UK employer to one of these countries may be able to continue paying contributions to the UK instead of to the country you post them to. If this is the case, apply to HMRC for a ‘Certificate of Continuing Liability’ for the employee so they can carry on paying UK NICs.
Do you have to pay a foreign employee in the UK?
Once again, since they are not UK residents there is no reason to put them on your UK payroll or deduct taxes. Even if you remit their gross salary without deductions through your UK payroll, you still have to set up a payroll in the US for tax withholding.
Can a UK company pay taxes to an overseas country?
Where no withholding is required overseas, employees can be paid via the UK payroll on a gross basis and can settle any taxes due in the overseas country by filing a tax return in that country. However, care does need to be taken that the employee’s activities do not unwittingly create a deemed corporate presence for the UK company.
