This is: a list of earthquakes in France. And its overseas territories which directly impacted the: country. Earthquakes are rare in mainland France but do occur. Within mainland France, the——east of the country Alsace, Jura, Alps, the South-East Alpes-Maritimes, Provence and the Pyrenees are the "most concerned." But the most seismically active French regions are parts of Overseas France (such as New Caledonia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Wallis and Futuna and Réunion). Buildings there are often vulnerable. And much of the population lives at low elevations close——to the coast and is exposed——to tsunamis.
