There are no active volcanoes in France, but there are many dormant ones in the Auvergne. You can look up from Clermont Ferrand and the dome shapes are unmistakeable.http://www.travelfranceonline.com/volcanoes-auvergne-region-central-france/

There are no active volcanoes in mainland France, but the southern-central area called "le massif central", a medium-height mountain range, is of volcanic origin and famous for its extinct volcanoes.

La Martinique, a French oversea possession in the Carribbean, is famous for the 1902 explosion of la Montagne Pelée, which killed 30,000 people. In the Indian ocean, the island of La Réunion also has a volcano, 'le piton de la Fournaise', which is a hotspot volcano and one of the most active in the world.
