Except for nationalities exempt from requesting a short stay visa, foreigners traveling to France should make sure that their passport is valid at least three (3) months beyond the expected end of their trip.

If your nationality appears on that list, it means that you can stay in France until the expiry date of your passport as long as you do not engage in any activity other than tourism or business and do not exceed the number of days allowed to stay in the country without a visa.
