France never gained independence the way the United States did because France was never a colony. France has more or less existed as an entity since ca. the 400s AD, more "officially" since 843 AD.

It has been occupied several times by foreign armies (e.g. the British, the Germans, etc.) and then liberated again, but it has never "gained independence" because it has always been independent.

France was never a colony or dependency of Another Country, but is independent since it exists (the year 843 is often used as its birth date, following the parting of the empire of charles the Great). The national holiday is july 14th, in reference to the storming of the Bastille, an event which marks the beginning of the historical period of the French Revolution.

France has no official date of independence, but there are some important landmarks in the development of the country. On August 10, 843 CE, Western Francia was established from the division of the Carolingian Empire. On July 14, 1789, the French monarchy was overthrown--this day is commemorated every year on Bastille Day, the most similar holiday to an Independence Day. On September, 22 1792, the First French Republic was founded). On October 4, 1958 the Fifth French Republic, the current system of government, was established.
