The short answer is 'YES'.
You will of course need the supporting documentation such as birth/marriage certs for you and your parents.
Years ago nations were unhappy at people having more than one passport. But things are (surprisingly) more relaxed now.
The important rule to adhere to when travelling is always to use that countries passport when you are entering or leaving eg
travel from uk to France - leave on the UK passport and when you get to france show the frnch one.

If you and your husband are British not by decent (meaning you were born in the UK to UK citizens) then you can pass on your British citizenship. So yes they are British. I am not sure about the French citizenship. They could be dual citizens, but very few countries give citizenship just because a person was born in that country. However if the parents had a visa to live and work in France, then it could be possible for the children to also be French citizens. Look into the French side of it if you would like them to have dual citizenship. Just as a side note. Your children will be considered British by decent. They are British citizens, but they can not pass on British citizenship to their children unless the children are born in the UK. Any children born to them overseas will not be considered British. Congrats on the babies :0) Belle

I would have thought you could apply for a French passport, but you need to contact a French embassy to check it out. As far as the UK is concerned, there is no problem about holding several passports as well as UK one, but some countries do not allow this.
Years ago, a Brit with French parents went on a day-trip to France, they said he was French and dragged him off to do national service for 18 months! - I think they've got rid of that now.

I don't know if it has changed recently or not but my step father (Tunisian origin) had all 3 from those countries too.
I think it depends on which countries that people are allowed to have multiple passports but I know these 3 allow it.
Anyone from Tunisian origin insist you have theirs even if you don't live there.
To be sure check the French Homeoffice.
