The only official language of France is French. This has been enforced in the Constitution (article 2).

Other languages have been spoken on the French soil. Most of them, due to the language repression policy, are now seriously endangered.

It just depends on regions some regions speak different languages but most regions speak French. Breton, Corsican, Occitan, Catalan, Basque, Alsatian, Flemish, are regional languages in France, but it isn't difficult to find locals who speak English, German, and other languages. Tourism and other commerce has fostered the use of other languages by natives for a long period.

The schools do teach English classes and because of the influx of people from other parts of the world other languages can be heard, but French is the national language. The top three languages of France is 1.French 2.Basque and 3.Catalan

We generally count 10 regional languages: alsatian-lorrain (upper German dialects), arpitan (or francoprovençal), basque, catalan, corsican, flemish (dutch dialect), ligurian (padanian dialect), occitan (or provençal or langue d oc), romani, and yiddish (native in Alsace).

We should add the dialects of French generally grouped as "languages of oïl" (picard, walloon, gallo, poitevin-saintongeais, normand...) and the languages of overseas possessions.

And finally we could add all the languages spoken by foreigners...

Klingon, Urdu, and Esperanto

Well, obviously French. But most Europeans speak about six languages each, normally including English, and their borders. In this case, Italian, Spanish, or German, maybe. Also maybe an Asian language, Portuguese, or maybe a Scandinavian language. They sort of have a choice, but most normally at least speak English. However, if you are going to France, you do not know any French and you are American, I would suggest learning these words in French, 'I'm sorry. I don't know French.' or something like that. You might be wondering, 'Why would I say that?' but it's... polite.

Historically, Basque at the western end of the Pyrenees, Provençal in the South, Breton in Brittany. These are tiny-minority languages nowadays, with Basque the most genuinely living. There is also a Franco-German dialect in Alsace which is considerably different from French.

French is the official language of France, spoken by about 85% of the population. Other major languages of French are English (34%), Spanish (13%), German (8%), and Italian (2%).

4) Arabic: there are many immigrants from North-Africa, coming mainly from former French colonies such as Algeria and Marocco

The official language of France (including the French Riviera or Cote d'Azur) is French. However, some regional dialects survive, including provençal, the dialect still spoken in the South. Provençal has a long literary tradition. Provençal is a language in its own right which also has many local dialects. It is not a dialect of French. There is also Nizza - a dialect of Italian spoken in Nice and the Pays Niçois and Monagasque which is still spoken in Monaco.

France has made French the official language. Other ethnic and racial groups, however, live in France. This means that other languages are also spoken. For example people groups in France include Slavs, North Africans, Indochinese and the Basque people. Clearly they speak homeland languages along with French.
