the french army of that period wasn't exactly feared but it commanded a great degree of respect both from the Germans and the English. this respect was earned through its sheer size (4,5 million men in peace time) and of the relatively modern equipment and training.

so to sum it up, it wasn't feared but it was the third biggest army on the continent and perhaps in the whole world, so it was given a healthy amount of respect from it's adversaries. namely the Germans.

Was the french army the most feared army in World War 2 and why?

not at all. remember they got occupied by the Nazis and showed little resistance. The Nazis or the Americans were the most feared army, both were technologically advanced more so the Nazis but the USA'a production capacity was enormous so for every plane the Nazis made the Americans made 10. Not exactly. When the war began, France appeared to have the best army in the world, but the French tactical doctrine was one war behind. The German Army in 1939 was smaller but much more modern, and they overran France quickly in the following year. The US Army in 1939 was in a pathetic state, but at least it was willing to accept new ideas, while the French Army was using WW2 weapons and WW1 tactics.

What happened to most of the French warship fleet at the beginning of World War 2?

The French fleet was consigned to its harbors, mostly in Toulon, Algeria and Senegal. The fleets in Algeria and Senegal were shortly afterwards destroyed by the Allies who feared that the ships might otherwise be made part of Germany's war fleet. The fleet harbored in Toulon was scuttled by the French themselves when the German army entered Toulon to take over from the French Vichy government.
