I understand your frustration. Although I read French, most of my searches need to be done in English and the results are much different if done on the French Google site, thus I don't appreciate being automatically switched to the other site.
I just looked at Google's help section and am going to give the google.com/webhp suggestion a try.

If you'd prefer to visit Google.com instead, click the Google.com link on the bottom right-hand side of the Google homepage.
