The two-round runoff system France uses is not proportional. It's not even necessarily ensuring an MP is elected by a majority, because there are some situations where the runoff can be contested by more than two people. But it's still a better system than a single round, since it does afford a voter some level of protection against voting against the establishment, at least in the first round
