Eleven cyclists represented France in 1924. It was the nation's sixth appearance in the sport. Overall, the French cyclists won six medals, including four golds.

The French road cyclists, led by Blanchonnet, dominated the time trials. The French took both gold medals (in the team event and Blanchonnet in the individual), took three out of a possible four total medals, and had each of the four cyclists finish in the top ten individually. Hamel took the individual bronze.

In track cycling, the French team took two of the four gold medals. Michard won the sprint championship, while Cugnot and Choury won the tandem. Cugnot also earned a bronze in the sprint.

Twelve equestrians represented France in 1924, tying France with Sweden for the most (and maximum) representatives in the sport. It was the nation's fourth appearance in the sport; France, Belgium, and the United States were the only three countries to have competed in each edition of the Olympic equestrian competitions to that point. Xavier Lesage won France's only equestrian medal in 1924, a bronze in the dressage. It was the first time that France finished with fewer than two medals, and the first time France did not earn at least a silver medal.

24 fencers, 20 men and 4 women, represented France in 1924. It was the nation's fifth appearance in the sport. France won three gold medals and three silver medals, all in the six men's events. 11 of the country's 13 entries reached the finals; the sabre team Perrodon in the individual sabre were the only entries which did not get past the semifinals. In contrast, none of the four French women advanced to the final.

Ducret had the best results of any fencer in 1924, winning five medals. He took medals in all three of the individual competitions, including gold in the foil and silver in the other two events. Ducret was also on the two gold medal teams, for the foil and épée. Cattiau finished second to Ducret in the foil, with his only loss in 24 bouts being the loss to Ducret in the final pool (Ducret had won only 19 of his 24 matches on his way to the gold medal, but went 6 and 0 in the final pool).

5th place

Eight gymnasts represented France in 1924. It was the nation's sixth appearance in the sport, matching Great Britain for most appearances to that point. The French team performed well, with two gymnasts in the top ten and the overall score for the eight gymnasts earning the nation a silver medal in the team competition.

The French swept the medals in the sidehorse vault apparatus, with Séguin's gold and two silvers after Gounot and Gangloff tied for second. Séguin also won silver in the rope climbing. Higelin took bronze in the horizontal bar. Despite Séguin's pair of apparatus medals, he finished 15th overall—and third among the French squad. Gounot, at eighth place, was the highest ranked French gymnast in the all-around.
