Did the US Declaration of Independence influence the French Revolution?

Yes. The Declaration of Independence was a great influence on the French Revolution. It gave them the basic idea that citizens had rights that even their king could not take away. The French people followed all the events of the American Revolution all the while that they were subject to hardships such as a lack of flour and bread. A more direct influence is that the French published a document entitled "Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen", which was modeled after the US Declaration of Independence and which Thomas Jefferson helped write.
