.htaccess : Loads a directory by default

I have to upload a directory by default when someone comes to my static website

this is the structure

under my public_html I have domain folder 'domainname'. In domain folder I've webfolder/fr/index.html

I want to load files under webfolder/fr directly. following is my .htaccess under the domain name

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !webfolder/fr/
RewriteRule (.*) /en/$1 [L]

if I remove fr/index.html it loads files under webfolder. If I set 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !webfolder/fr/

it gives 500 internal error.

Please help me how can I fix this.

To Clarify:

When I open my domain www.domain.com I want it to open www.domain.com/webfolder/fr

Please add following two lines to allow a specific file to load just in case there is no default index file setup already

Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

Note : if you have to load first php index file then you have set like

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

So you want to redirect your domain from root folder to some other subfolder

try this code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule (.*) /webfolder/fr [L]

hope this code will work for you

optional:-you can also do this by changing your home directory in cpanel settings
