Nestle buys the water from France.

Perrier is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nestle. They merely take the water from the ground and bottle it in France.
If you want to say no to Perrier that is up to you.
But if you want to prevent a single shekel from ending up with the French, you should boycott any goods that transit through France which is a major transit point for goods coming to the US.

If any transaction I make actually puts a penny into the French, German, Chinese, Canadian or Russian economies, I won't make it. It's a bit of a chore, but thanks to FReepers, it's easier. And worth every second and every penny...

Also, knowing the French, they are not giving away that water. How many Frencmen are employed bottling and transporting and whatever for Perrier?
