Umm...
Never that i know of.
Unless you count the few Moriscos who fled spain, Islam never had a major foothold in France.

Islam at its geographical height stretched for thousands of miles. Islamic conquest into Christian Europe spread as far as southern France.

I dont think they did, they occupied Spain for 700 years and nearly invaded France... They were deafeated at the battle of Tours, in 732, I believe... they never pushed farther north of the Pyrenees again.

Never. It was stopped from spreading into France at the Battle of Tours when Charles Martel defeated the Moors.

Islam is a religion, not an army or country. It can't "occupy" anything.

Not long I guess. One or two decades in the 8th century AD. Three decades tops.
