Athletics
France was one of 9 nations to have competed at both the first two Olympics in athletics. 22 athletes competed in 18 events, with a total of 28 entries. France won its first Olympic championship in the sport, though that victory's belonging to France is disputed. Michel Théato was Luxembourgish but living in Paris; his win in the marathon is credited to France by the International Olympic Committee, which rejected a petition by Luxembourg to change the Olympic record of Théato's nationality.[3] Including Théato's gold medal, France won a total of 7 medals in the sport and ranked 3rd in the leaderboard for athletics.

- Saint-Aignan was chosen as a replacement for Renaud, who withdrew after placing 5th in semifinal B.
- Thiébaut and Guillemard both placed 4th-6th in quarterfinal B, competing in quarterfinal F as a second chance to advance after three fencers withdrew.
- There were two fencers with the surname Thomeguex.
- Two fencers named Dizier competed.
- Two fencers named Lézard competed.
- The IOC lists this swimmer as "Cadet". Mallon gives the first initial as "M.", counting this swimmer as distinct from Victor Cadet. De Wael argues that Victor Cadet is the swimmer who competed for Tritons Lillois.
