Small by comparison to the 63 National Parks in the U.S., France has only eight in the country. Still, the landscapes and terrains are quite varied, from the snow-covered Alps, to blue water coves surrounded by petrified stone cliffs near Marseilles, to an island park on the Mediterranean Sea, to a densely populated forest.
Here’s a detailed list of the parks and the range of activities they offer.

A recent addition to the national park system of France is Calanques National Park which is 201 square miles and extends from just outside of the city of Marseilles to the lovely port village of Cassis in southern France. It’s the only national park in Europe that encompasses land, sea, and urban areas.
