Conservatively:

Amazon makes approximately 800k per minute, so in about 45 minutes they’ve recouped their money. Make it one hour just to cover all other costs, lawyers, etc involved in this.

Is that revenue, or profit? Also is this specifically revenue on France or globally?

Doesn’t matter as it won’t be enough to prevent them from continuing breaking the law.

That’s just the cost of doing business for Amazon. Why should they change their tactics if the fees are that low.
