Look up quakes! |
France has relatively few earthquakes. Based on data from the past 54 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 8,700 quakes on average per year in France. However, France has had at least 13 quakes above magnitude 5 since 1970, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 1 to 5 years.
On average, France has about 111 quakes of magnitude 3 or higher per year (Mag 4+: 6.2 quakes per year).
The last earthquake in France occurred 16 minutes ago and had a magnitude of 1.2:
A light magnitude 1.2 earthquake hit 37 km (23 mi) away from Tarbes, Occitanie, France, late in the evening of Saturday, Jun 1, 2024 at 10.55 pm local time (Europe/Paris GMT +2). The quake had a very shallow depth of 5 km (3.1 mi) and was too small to be felt by people.
In the past 24 hours, France has had 5 quakes of magnitude 2.0 or above. There were also 5 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.
