The 100 Years war lasted 116 Years, so the title is misleading. It lasted from 1337 to 1453. They were massive gaps in fighting though. One of these Ceasefires lasted from 1360-1369 and the other main one from 1389 to about 1415, so the fighting actually lasted only 80 years.

From Wikipedia......................................................The Hundred Years' War was a conflict between England and France, lasting 100 years from 1337 to 1453. It was fought primarily over claims by the English kings to the French throne and was punctuated by several brief periods of peace and two lasting ones before it finally ended in the expulsion of the English from France. Thus, the war was in fact a series of conflicts and is commonly divided into three or four phases: the Edwardian War (1337-1360), the Caroline War (1369-1389), the Lancastrian War (1415-1429), and the slow decline of English fortunes after the appearance of Joan of Arc. The term "Hundred Years' War" was given afterward.
The war owes its historical significance to a number of factors. Though primarily a dynastic conflict, the war gave impetus to ideas of French and English nationality. Militarily, it saw the introduction of new weapons and tactics, which eroded the older system of feudal armies dominated by heavy cavalry. The first standing armies in Western Europe since the time of the Western Roman Empire were introduced for the war, thus changing the role of the peasantry. For all this and simply its duration, it is often viewed as one of the most significant conflicts in the history of medieval warfare.

116 years.
It's generally considered to have started in 1337 (Battle of Sluys), and ended when the final peace was made in 1453 (the same year in which the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, although the two events aren't connected!).
