First of all yes you can make the door kick proof with better deadbolts and plates that screw deep into the beams of the house rather than the shallow door buck but security bars are useless because the burglar can look through the door to see the bar and simply break a pane of glass and pull back.
Use a door barricade.
Install a commercial grade double sided deadbolt into the active side of the door or alternatively install a double side high security deadbolt into the active side of the french door.
A double cylinder deadbolt which requires a key to open from both sides can also make your french doors safer.
