What else can I help you with?
Is the french franc obsolete?
Yes it is. The official currency has been Euro since 2002. Oddly, though, French supermarkets still label the price in francs in small print after the Euro price - presumably to help people who still think in francs. Which is not much use to some of my former neighbours who still think in OLD francs. Hedleygb is right to precise the prices in Francs are still mentionned on the price tags. French had and still have difficulties, they need to compare with their former currency. One of the explanation is the complexity of change (1 € is worth 6,59 francs) and there are no "easy" mnemothechnic conversion tool, while the German Mark conversion is very near of one € for 2 marks which seems to be easier. France has known two changings of currency since WWII. What are called the Old French francs (les anciens francs) was replaced by the New franc in 1960 (the new franc was worth 100 Old francs). There are still people who think in Old Francs (generally old people). The task for them has been hardened with the adoption of the €uro.

Who gave France it's name?
The Gaulish tribe of "Francs" came to hold a large territory in Northern France and down to Paris. At the time the word "Franc" also meant 'free'. In reference to the Franks tribe, a region a few kilometers north of Paris was also named "France". That name is still existing in place names like "Roisssy-en-France". That land was part of the royal domain of the first French kings, who came to extend their domination upon the other French regions. France was named after a Germanic tribe, the "Franks" having settled in Northern France, whose Kings' came to preeminence after the fall of the Roman Empire.
