Did France ever recover from the french revolution?

Certainly. France under Napoleon had recovered the domestic tranquility that existed in France prior to the French Revolution. Of course, France would never be the same after the French Revolution, but in terms of economic recovery, social co-existence, power on the world stage, and stable laws, the Napoleonic period recovered that.

Was the country better after the French Revolution?

No, France wasn't better off because of the Revolution. After the revolution the country was one huge chaos and nobody knew who or how the country should be governed. The French people had blamed all their problems on their Monarchs and killed them, but never realized that it wasn't their fault and so when the Revolution was over, nothing was gained and their situation was actually worse then ever. France was bankrupt and no Monarch in Europe wanted to have anything to do with France anymore because of their bloody war against the monarchy. Eventually it was Napoleon Bonaparte who grabbed the reigning power and made France an Empire. Since the French weren't too happy with him in the end either, the count of Provence (the brother of Louis XVI whom the French had killed), made himself King and so France was yet again a monarchy.
