Early versions had no valves, and are now known as natural horns. Valves for brass instruments weren't invented until around 1800.

Is a marching French horn the same as a regular French horn?

No. A marching french horn, also called a mellophone, has a shape more like a trumpet with a large bell facing forward. A "regular" french horn has the bell facing backwards. You use your left hand to play the french horn and your right hand to play the mellophone. Fingering also changes to that identical to a trumpet, or a B-flat Horn (the E's and D's are fingered differently). Some mellophones are made to be used with a trumpet (cornet) mouthpiece, but there are adapters you can use to use your horn mouthpiece. Other mellophone are made to be used only with a horn mouthpiece.

Do French people play the French horn?

Some French musicians do play the French horn, but it is hard to play and is not a popular instrument. It is not used in folklore compositions and the proportion of musicians playing the French horn isn't certainly any higher than in other countries. Its French name is 'cor d'harmonie', making no reference to its origin.
