Income tax is taken from each payslip at the rate the tax office sets (18.6% here). New arrivals are taxed at a default rate until their first return, and the difference is settled the following year.
Each extra €100 of gross pay at this level leaves about €58 after contributions and income tax (a marginal rate of 42%). In your first months in France, before your first tax return, the default withholding rate for this pay is 17.9%.
