France 3 is the second largest French public television network and part of the France Télévisions group, which also includes France 2, France 4, France 5, and France Ô.

It is made up of regional television stations and the program is slightly different depending on the broadcasting region, with only the national news being presented from Paris, followed by Regional News provided by each regional broadcaster, comparable to ITV in UK. The name used to be FR3 or France Régions 3 until the beginning of the 1990s.

Prior to the establishment of RFO it also broadcast to the various French overseas territories.
