French coastline
Mediterranean and Atlantic shores
The French coastline is the boundary where France meets its surrounding seas—the English Channel, Atlantic Ocean, and Mediterranean.
The term appears in geography, tourism, and military contexts: The French coastline stretches over 3,400 kilometers.
It encompasses dramatically varied terrain, from Normandy's cliffs to the Riviera's beaches.
