A little unnatural
I would say: "I've been working in a well-know factory in order to gain experience, because I'm planning to travel to France and get a better job"
This reads as "I'm planning to travel to France, and I'm planning to get a better job"
If the reason you are going to France is to get a better job, you should say:
"to France to get a better job"
