There are thousands of them (probably about 1/3 of English words) going back to the origins of English and the intermingling of English and French rulers.

Here is a website that lists some http://french.about.com/library/bl-frenchinenglish-list.htm

Even common ones like VISIT, BACON, ABILITY, ENJOY, TABLE, WASTE, RAT come from French.
