Depends on what you mean by Europe.!!!

The European Union (EU) is a political entity and is about 50 years old.

The European Continent is millions of years old, as a geophysical land mass.

France came into existance after fall of the Roman Empire, when it was invaded by the Franks from the east. ' Charles Martel' about 800 AD maybe thought of as the first French Monarch. As a nation France has existed since then, about 1400 years, first as a monarchy(kingdom), then as a republic. However it has remained as one cohesive nation for the 1400 years.

NB During the Roman Empire, France was known as Gaul. To this day the French are often referred to as 'Gallic', from the word 'Gaul'.
