Eating frog's legs or snails is not really popular, except for tourists thinking these recipes are a mainstay of French cuisine - which they are not. They are curiosities.
EDIT
I respectfully disagree with the reply above. Although I am not french, I do share most of its culture since I live in the french speaking part of Belgium, about 30 miles from France and yes, we definitely eat frog's legs and snails. I personally do not like snails, but I love frog's legs. Children usually like them, too. However, it would be a sin not to use plenty of garlic when cooking them ! Also, you need dry white wine with frog legs.
Although I agree it hardly qualifies as everyday cooking, it does so no less than lobsters, oysters or foie gras. And we eat lots of Roquefort, too :)
Another answer.
Having lived in the hexagon for more than 20 years, my wife and I are not exactly tourists. My wife will never pass up snails on a menu; I am not in love with them, but never say no to frog's legs. We eat them mostly at a local restaurant on their 'menu a 12 Euro' - full of workmen and not a tourist in sight.
Every French person probably does not eat snails and frog legs every day, but it is still very popular dishes and is consumed in huge quantities.
Snails and frogs legs are known french dishes, but actually, most french people don't eat that more than maybe once a year.
A few restaurants propose snails, but I (french person) never saw frog legs in a restaurant (except a Chinese one) or in a supermarket.

Do the snails in my tank of African dwarf frogs clean the tank enough?
Snails can help by eating leftover food and algae, but they may not clean the tank entirely. It's still important to do regular water changes and tank maintenance to keep the water clean and healthy for your African dwarf frogs.
Are there any producers in a bull frogs diet?
A lot of people have no idea that frogs are not only the prey of many larger animals, but also what frogs eat exactly. Have you ever had a pet frog? If not, that you are probably not familiar with the fact that frogs actually do eat other live prey and are definitely not vegetarians by any means. Insects, snails, spiders, worms and even small fish have all been known to be part of a frog's diet and while some bigger frogs had been known to go after something as big as a mouse, there are still those frogs that just stick to insects. One of the neat facts about how frogs eat is that they have no teeth. Similar to snakes, frogs have to swallow their entire meal whole because they can not chew anything. Usually, frogs will only use the upper jaw to hold onto their prey, it is not used for biting or chewing at all. One of the most memorable things that people usually pick up on is the sticky tongue that all frogs have. This tongue takes less than a second to roll out and once it is out, whichever insect they are attempting to catch will not have any time at all to react.

Why do people import goods instead of buying in their own country?
Because some things cannot be bought or 'found' in every country. Each country is known for the specific goods they have or grow in their country. For example... Bananas come from Jamaica and Africa; you dont see plantains growing on the tree(s) in your garden in the UK do you! Also they import curry from countries like Pakistan and especially India. All the spices dry up and are crushed in the backyards of houses in India. Where do you think the poppadoms you get from Asda come from..?! And the snails we find on the floors and in forests here in the UK come from the sewage; I'll explain... when French people eat snails at home or in their dads' restaurants' they have to excrete it! they excrete it out in their toilets and the sewage system leads to forests in the UK, which means that snails and slugs enter the UK/Britain.. this is why we find snails and slugs on our grounds; they dont die,, the French people eat the while they're still alive...!!!
