There are two main ways of obtaining French citizenship for a foreigner.
The first one is by marrying a French national - you are then granted the right to apply for French citizenship (after some time, the French authorities will ask you to prove that you really live with your spouse)
The second common way is that France may accept applications from foreigners having spent legally a lengthy period of time (more than ten years) on French soil. After a criminal record check and the completion of a dossier, the applicant may have to demonstrate that he is well integrated into mainstream French society. French language abilities and the approval of French 'values' may be tested (recently an applicant was famously denied French citizenship because he didn't accept the idea of equality between men and women).
French government websites will explain these possibilities at length.

Can you get a French passport if your father was born in Tahiti?
French passports are for French nationals. If your father holds French citizenship - which is possible from the fact he was born on a French territory, but not automatic - you can in turn apply for French citizenship. It is very unlikely that you could get French citizenship if your father isn't himself French. If he his, that will not be granted automatically either. To size up your chances, contact the French embassy or consulate in your home country.

If You were born in France and your mother was a French citizen how do you get a French passport?
If you are a French citizen, living in mainland France: apply to your local "sous-préfecture" or "préfecture". If you are a French citizen, living abroad, report to the local consulate or embassy. If you need to establish your citizenship, report to these same locations, with documents proving the French citizenship of your mother. Once your mother's citizenship established, you will be asked some more documents proving that you are her son or daughter. This step being cleared, you will be able to get a French ID at the same office.

How many Algerians are living in France?
There are different estimations about the numbers of Algerians in France. The French national body of statistics INSEE puts the figure at 1.7 million Algerian nationals. People born before Algerian independence in 1962 are not included, since they weren't at the time any Algerians, but only French citizens. In the number are included only the people holding Algerian citizenship, or dual Algerian-French citizenship. The people of Aglerian descent, holding French citizenship only, aren't included (since they are only French).The largest estimate, by an Algerian-based association, puts the figure at about 4 milion people, but includes all people of Algerian descent, regardless of their date of birth or actual citizenship.

Because Corsica was once again passed from Italian control back to the French. Napoleon was born therefore on French soil. There is blood citizenship and soil citizenship.
