Why did the French return all the Dutch Colonies to the Netherlands in Paris Treaty?

Question

It seems to me that France helped Holland a lot in the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War. And also gave all Dutch colonies back to Holland in the [1783 Treaty of Paris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Paris_(1783)#Treaty_with_the_Dutch_Republic)? I was wondering why was that and what benefits the French got from doing that?

Answer 1

France was a colonial country , so any alliance kept its political power untouched
