How long has France been around?

Answer 1

France is 1170 years old in 2013.

There is no "founding act" for France, but the usual "birthdate" is 843 when Charles The Great's empire was parted between his grandsons. The Carolingian Empire was never reunited since. The occidental part of the empire, the "Francie occidentalis" and the medium part form much of today's France.

Answer 2

There is no official date for the establishment of France as a country, but a good number of French historians consider that you can set the date starting at the fall of the Western Roman Empire, in 476 AD.

Another popular "birth date" for France is set by the treaty of 843, where the empire of Charles the Great is divided between his heirs. In that text you find the first mention of France (spelled then "Francie"). The same text was written in three different languages, among them Old French, from which it is the first written example. That also makes 843 the birth date of French language.
