In 1960, 800,000 French francs would be equivalent to a significant amount of money today, but the exact value can vary based on inflation and currency conversion rates. In terms of purchasing power, 800,000 francs could be considered a substantial sum, likely comparable to tens of thousands of euros today. To be more precise, historical inflation rates suggest that this amount could be roughly equivalent to around 120,000 to 150,000 euros in current value.
In 1942, the value of 100 French francs would have been significantly impacted by the economic conditions of World War II, including inflation and occupation. The precise value in terms of purchasing power can be difficult to assess, but it would be considerably less than it is today, as the franc underwent changes and devaluations post-war. The historical context suggests that 100 francs might have had a modest purchasing power, primarily for essential goods.
In 1800, 1 franc was worth 20 U.S. dolars and 20 cents. On an unrelated note, I wonder if you're asking because you read or are reading Les Miserables? If so, I wish you lots of enjoyment
Before euros, the french curerency was called Francs. Between 1360 and 1641, it was the name of the coins worth 1 livre tournois and it remained in common parlance as a term for this amount of money. It was re-introduced in decimal form in 1795 and remained the national currency until the introduction of the euro in 1999 (for accounting purposes) and in 2002 (coins and banknotes). It was a commonly held national reserve currency in the 19th and 20th centuries.

5,000 French francs from 1901 would be worth about 19,000 euros at the end of 2013, according to the inflation calculator in link. There are a number of them, but there isn't any that is going back to before 1900 (that also seems the limit on the national French statistics body - INSEE)
in 1942 there were the French and the Swiss francs. Which one are you refering to?
Well, depending on whether you are after Francs - The french currency still used in French Polynesia and French Pacific, but not France itself, would be worth $1.01... However, if you're after the Swedish Francs, that would be worth $5.05. Hope that's helpful.

However, precise historical exchange rates can vary slightly based on the specific date and economic conditions.
