The national parks of France are a system of nine national parks throughout metropolitan France and its overseas departments, maintained by the government agency Parcs Nationaux de France. The French national parks protect a total of 3,710 km² in central zones and 9,162 km² in secondary zones. This puts over 2% of the total area of France under some level of protection. French national parks draw over 7 million visitors every year.
