There is no 'foundation' date for France and this is a moot point for historians. After the Germanic tribe of the Franks settled down, the country became gradually France as it is now. Most French historians consider France to be born at the fall of the Roman Empire (476 AD). Some consider the date of the battle of Bouvines (1214) as a marker in the beginning of a national sentiment. Some people say France was founded in 1534 also.
