Before the Roman Empire, the Gauls lives in the area where we find France right now. The Gauls spoke Gallic.
Then, the Romans conquered the Gauls, and forced them to speak Latin.
This became a local accent, the so-called Gallo-Roman.
After the Roman Empire, the Franks conquered the area, and these Franks had had a big influence on the language of the French people, but still their language was Old French (ancien français).
From the Roman Empire until around 1800, there were a lot of changes of accent (nowadays, the accent is on the last syllabe), and very much changes of voyelles. Since around 1800, the language hasn't changed that much, and since then, we call it Modern French.
