Most certainly. You don’t land a cable in either the US or France without a classified annex to the license that provides for interconnection to their intelligence services.
Let's say they do tap the cables (I reckon they do too but in case they don't) what can they actually see if the traffic is encrypted?

Ah the old "entire digitized Library of Congress" per second metric
I always find comparisons using text data incredibly worthless. I'm sure a Shakespeare play or The Great Gatsby are barely a few megabytes. But if you asked Joe Shmoe on the street "In Great Gatsbys, how big was the last picture your iPhone took", they would rightly have zero idea. It's so useless.

Considering they do intercept, as widely documented, question is how do they see if traffic is encrypted?

"What is the cost of doing something like this?" Their Oregon to Japan cable, 9000km and laid in 2016, cost $300M. https://www.computerworld.com/article/2939316/googles-60tbps...
That is at least 1 order of magnitude cheaper than I would have guessed. Mind boggling that it's cheaper to do that then buy like the 4th best meal delivery app in Canada or whatever.
The fun thing was the company hand book had a whole other section of T&C allowances etc if you worked on a ship.
