From Googling, it seems quite safe even if one engine is blown out. Once in the air, it seems like the plane can still maintain flight travelling at a slower pace.
Since this plane had four engines, assuming the other three had no other issues, would it be possible to make the entire trip to France?

Well, for starters the plane was headed to LAX from CDG, not the other way around.
From a technical standpoint, the A380 could've probably "flown" onward to LAX. That being said, it would've burned a considerably higher amount of fuel and would not have been able to maintain an optimum cruise altitude. That in itself could've negated the chances of it successfully completing the flight for reasons related to fuel. Plus, pilots are not one to chance things given the fact that if they were to lose another engine, then all of a sudden a serious situation has now gone from bad to much worse.
Furthermore, the flight may not have been situated close to any preferred diversionary airports. In this case, flying over the continental US would minimize such a concern, but over a large body of water such as the Atlantic, it becomes a serious issue.
I do recall that a couple years ago a British Airways 744 was doing a flight from somewhere in the US to LHR. During the flight the crew was forced to shut off one of the engines. Instead of diverting, however, they decided to proceed to their final destination.

reminded me of this incident from few years ago when the pilots accidently shut off the wrong engine
which has apparently happened before that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegworth_air_disaster
unrelated but the only A380 servicing YVR seems to be BA
didn't even know our airport supports the double-decker
hopefully get to try one through Malyasia/Singapore carriers when I'm that way next year...preferably without an engine failure
