Of course we do. I believe it is an international thing cuz the Italian and the English do also.
We have as many accent as there are regions..Whew... In the North they have a very strong kinda germanic accent. In Paris they are insisting on the "E" in the words. As you get further to the south, thre are even words coming from the old (Patois) french language here and there with what could be a Spanish or Italian accent. I come from the south and when I speak french with my accent, people think I speak Italian. Quite funny really.

Of course there are regional accents! There is "l'accent du Sud" in Marseille, Toulouse, Montpellier (Southern accent, which sounds Spanish-like), "l'accent parisien" (the accent from Paris which is seen as kinda posh, by some people). There is also the Eastern accent (from Alsace which sounds German-like).
Of course, the French West Indies have their own accents too: Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane...

yes. the "purest" French is in the Tours region (below Paris), where there is virtually no "accent." Parisians sound different than Southerners (Provence). In Provence it has a bit of a twang, like for the word "pain" (bread) we say "paing."

yes, there is, I'm Moroccan and I speak french, and as you said, every region in French got its own french or accent, for example, people in Paris, don't speak same words or they do but differently than people in Nice or Marseille....... oh and the litterer French isn't like the "Argo" the familiar french

yeah. it's just like in any country. for example: some of the alsace-lorraine area has this language called alamanisch...it's basically french and german smashed together and spoken faster than french normally would be.
