She calles us this morning. That would be her first call eversince she left to France.
Is the prepostion TO (in left to France) correct? If not?what should be the proper preposition?

It should be 'for'.
'Left for' is a phrasal verb, if you want to use 'to', then 'go to', 'fly to' etc

The correct preposition would be "for" - since she left FOR France. There are a few other errors which may just be typos. It should be "She called us this morning. That was her first call since she left for France." There is no one word "eversince", and if this was a typo, the word "ever" makes the sentence incorrect. You could say, "Ever since she left for France, she has called us weekly," but your sentence was wrong because "ever" refers to continuous time, not a specific point in time. Also, you need to match the tense of the event as referred to in the two sentences. Called is simple past tense. Therefore, you need a simple past tense in the second sentence, which would be "was".

She called us this morning. That was her first call since she left (for) France.
The use of the preposition depends on what the sentence means. Is she in France? Did she leave France? Is she on the way to France?

who cares. honestly. since she left "to" or "for" France. if that is your biggest concern....you are in great shape. your life is good. with that said....your first sentence "she calles us this morning" i am hoping was meant to be "she CALLED us this morning."

Other than the misspellings, the sentence is grammatically correct.
