There is no one 'most popular' food. Everyone has different tastes. Personally, I love magret de canard, cassoulet, foie gras and specialities from the Southwest of France. In France, a nation of 60 million people as in any other country, there is no one national dish.

Langercraft is correct, French cuisine at its best is regional cuisine. And what you appeals to you most may not appeal at all to someone else. For example, I don't like any of the dishes Langercraft loves. The cuisine of Southwest France leaves me cold. I much prefer the cuisine of the Loire Valley, Brittany, and Burgundy. The cuisines I love aren't better than that of Southwest France, just different.

French fries>
French fries are not even of French origin but Belgian I believe - the word 'french' means 'frenched' potatoes - a way of cooking them and has nothing to do with France - you make the same mistake as Congress when they re-named French Fires Freedom Fries to show their disgust with the French.
The most iconic French food is no doubt a baguette fresh from a boulangerie. Sans doute!
