French athletes have won 716 medals at the Summer Olympic Games, with fencing and cycling as the top medal-producing sports. France has won an additional 124 medals at the Winter Olympic Games, mostly in alpine skiing.Hosted Games
France has hosted the Games on five occasions and is planning to host the sixth.
