Since no one has commented here, I will try to give you some help.

Please note that I am by no means an expert of this era (but I have undergone a history/IR cursus in France).

If you want to look into the 17th/18th, you can give a shot to the books by Lagarde et Michard. They act as some kind of reference in the domain of "history throughout centuries" -but they are manuals. You might find some interesting redirections from there though.

Note however that most of French history books -and I believe the same applies to other countries- are thematical. Which means you're more likely to find books dealing with ("the State in the 19th century" for example) than an "holistic" approach of France in XIX century.

You might find more infos with the two flaired users, /u/elos and u/coree.

Good luck !

Thanks /u/ZeSkump for the reference here.

This is indeed a very vast topic you're looking at. There are literally hundreds of thousands of books written about this period. If you let me know some of your other interests, I might be able to give a more specific bibliography.

That being said, David A Bell is a pretty accessible historian who has written much about the 18th/19th centuries. You might be interested in his book "Cult of the Nation," or his "The First Total War" (on the Napoleonic wars).

Charles Walton's "Policing Public Opinion during the French Revolution" may help you, or maybe Rebecca Spang's "Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution."

Maybe Robert Tombs' more broad "France 1814-1914" (even if its after Nap.).

Even more broad (and even more accessible) is Alistair Horne, who wrote a few books that might interest you: "The Age of Napoleon" and "The French Revolution" ... these are more mass-market than anything else I've mentioned, so they aren't as rigorously researched and footnoted.
