There were loans that the U.S. owed the French. And these were repaid somewhat irregularly. But were eventually repaid. The French also got some minor colonial territories from the UK (Tobago, St Lucia, and Senegal). But most importantly they knocked down their principal rival down a peg or two.

There were always negotiations happening between the U.S. and France over trade agreements and the like in the post war years. But the U.S. aggressively avoided any agreement that might put them in a subservient position. France certainly tried to call in favors, but for the most part the U.S. resisted. This was actually the cause of quite some tension. France was expecting to get something of a client state. Instead they got a fairly prickly country which steadfastly refused to actually ally itself to France. The U.S. even went so far as to sign a separate peace with the UK, after having agreed with France not to do so. On top of that the U.S., while never defaulting, was often late with the loan repayments. The whole enterprise left the French feeling a bit bitter. And the loans and the general lack of American gratitude led to the Quasi-war from 1797 through 1800.
