Hey there! :)

"Why did France want to sell the Louisianan territory?"

Well, because they wanted to find their European wars!

Remember, at the time, France was fighting a war against the United Kingdom, and did not have enough money supplied for the war. Because of this, Napoleon, France's leader at the time, sold the Louisiana Purchase to the United States.

France wanted to sell the Louisiana Territory to fund its European wars.

In 1803 Louisiana was a territory of approximately 2 million km², bordering the north with the British possessions, the east with the Mississippi River and the south and west with the territories of Spain. It was populated by around 35,000 people (a third of them in New Orleans).

The United States was looking for ways to control navigation on the Mississippi River, which led to negotiations with the regime of Napoleon Bonaparte, then First French Consul.

For its part France was in a hurry to get rid of this colony that had obtained only two years ago (through the Treaty of Retrocession with Spain, which forced to return to France the territory acquired by Spain after the Seven Years' War), since the rich colony of Haiti had declared its independence from France, for which reason Louisiana had lost its strategic interest for the French.

Napoleon then preferred to sell the colony to the Americans and not run the risk of losing it to the English, using the money to fund their ambitious campaigns in Europe.
