Stevie G,
The key to the question was 'in Europe'.
Canada (St. Pierre & Miquelon) and Suriname (French Guiana) and Solomon Islands (Tahiti) et cetera were eliminated by the wording.

Since the question didn't specify land borders, the correct answer would be 9. France shares a maritime border with England.

Robert Oldenburg, I got seven as well, but figured I probably forgot one so I added one.
John W Shreve
I thought of seven and added one because I figured I probably forgot one.

There is only one country called France in the world and it is in Europe. All the overseas territories of France are not called France even French Guiana. This is a clone question and poorly worded so why are people supporting a member of the clone club.

Special Patrol Group, Yes.

Special Patrol Group, France has French Guyana in South America. It houses the main French space ports due to its tropical location.

Special Patrol Group, technically France's longest land border is French Guiana with Brazil in South America. Maybe Moustique wanted to eliminate confusion by not considering overseas territories.

Counting countries I kept coming up with seven, I forgot about Monaco.
