Because there are thousands of towns across france and the country is thousands of kilometres across, so this means there can be at least a couple of troops nearby if something kicks off (and there have been violent protests as well as peaceful ones).
Your “one man” is pretty useless if he’s in Paris and it kicks off in Marseille a thousand km away.
Given a terrorist killed someone a couple of days ago pretty much on the anniversary of the teacher getting beheaded last year it’s not unreasonable for there to be heightened readiness
