Hi, everyone! I'm a french citizen who overstayed his tourist visa by 9 years. I'd like to go back to France but would also like to come back in the US knowing that I'm facing the 10 years ban. My question is, could I go to Canada by car then fly to France and do the same thing when I come back? I recently renewed my passport with the US french consulate which has my US address on it and I've never filed any immigration papers but I registered in the US french consulate as a french citizen leaving abroad. What should I do?

No, if you leave the United States you will be subjected to the 10 year ban - no ifs, no buts - no exceptions. Leave and no return for 10 years.
There is sweet F.A. you can do about it - and personally I hope you leave, the bane of society and the reason why honest visitors and immigrants have such a hard time getting visas.
Piss off.

Basically, you've given up the chance to enter the US for a minimum of 10 years; you could conceivably be banned for life.
You've committed a crime (as noted in section 212 of the Immigration Nationality Act) ... specifically, you have broken the law set forth in 212.9.B.I and 212.9.B.II. These are listed in their entirety below.
In general.-Any alien who-
. . . was unlawfully present in the United States for a period of more than 180 days but less than 1 year, voluntarily departed the United States (whether or not pursuant to section 244(e) ) prior to the commencement of proceedings under section 235(b)(1) or section 240 , and again seeks admission within 3 years of the date of such alien's departure or removal, or
. . . has been unlawfully present in the United States for one year or more, and who again seeks admission within 10 years of the date of such alien's departure or removal from the United States,is inadmissible.
Construction of unlawful presence.-For purposes of this paragraph, an alien is deemed to be unlawfully present in the United States if the alien is present in the United States after the expiration of the period of stay authorized by the Attorney General or is present in the United States without being admitted or paroled.
