One Answer

The package french seems outdated, better to use babel, which definetely is a mainline package.

After deleting usepackage{french}it is necessary to delete the *.aux, *.toc, *.log and *.lot files, in short, the auxiliary files LaTeX produced on the way to get a *.pdf. *Beware not to delete the .tex file!!!

I changed your code in some places:

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{fullpage}
usepackage{eso-pic}
usepackage{geometry}
usepackage[english, french]{babel}
%usepackage{french}
usepackage[Glenn]{fncychap}
% Font style definition

usepackage{blindtext}

Compile it (twice) an you'll get under ABSTRACT text in english and french.

But if you main question were, how to change the language automagically in all sections, so that the language of chapters and sections would be english, while the text would be french, please edit you question.

By the way: you get the manual of each package with texdoc packagename on the command line (under Windows: cmd.exe). Try texdoc -s packagename.
