The modern French are the descendants of the Franks and their intermarriage and "French-ification" of the native Gauls. The Franks were from what is today the border where Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands meet (the area near Aachen, Germany and Maastricht, Netherlands). The Gauls were from all over France.
