Help me understand French reds

I’ve tried and tried to get into French wines (specifically red) and they all have an overpowering flavour of dirt and are quite unenjoyable and I struggle every time.

I understand old world wine is less fruit forward but the thought of people paying $1000+ for a bottle of this stuff does my head in. What am I missing here?

For context I love Australian Shiraz/Cab and Italian (all regions). Please help me understand French red and maybe even some reds that don’t take like licking the floor.
