Snails as a traditional meal came from the Roman Empire. French cuisine is famous for it, but there are a lot of countries where snails are a traditional meal and they eat it more than in France. Some regions of Spain, Italy, Greece, England, Asia (they put snails in the soup), and Africa (there are giant snails). They are a great source of income for France's tourist economy.
Or: Because even the French army can catch them for food :)
No, French people don't eat snakes. They would balk at the idea.
