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.
