I understood that 있는 + noun means 'having the noun mentioned' ,however this sentence is not making sense which I saw in a video: 또한 프랑스에 있는 한국 회사에서 일을 하고 있습니다.

You understood incorrectly. The basic meaning of 있다 is "to exist": other meanings are derived from it.
마당에 [토끼가 있다]. = In the front yard, [a rabbit exists] (i.e., there's a rabbit).
나는 [아파트가 있다]. = As for me, [an apartment exists] = I have an apartment.
회사가 프랑스에 있다. = The company exists in France = The company is (located) in France.
[프랑스에 있는] 회사 = a company [that exists in France] = a company in France

2@leycha "The person where a pen exists" ("The person who has a pen," in English). You can regard 사람 and their vicinity as the place where 펜 is present.– KlmoApr 4, 2020 at 22:10
펜이 있는 사람 means 'a man who has a pen' or 'a man with a pen'.
ex) 동생이 있는 사람 / 차가 있는 친구 / 많은 경험이 있는 선생님
있다 has many different meanings and there is no equivalent expression in English for each usage. But anyway its basic meaning is 'exist' or 'have something'.
