The Catholic Church in France mainly comprises a Metropolitan Latin Church hierarchy, joint in a national episcopal conference, consisting of
- fifteen ecclesiastical provinces, each under a Metropolitan Archdiocese (15)
- with a total of 80 suffragans: seven non-Metropolitan Archdioceses, 72 bishoprics and a Territorial Prelature
- two exempt non-Metropolitan Archdioceses
- the (exempt) Military Ordinariate.
Furthermore, it has four exempt Eastern Catholic jurisdictions : three rite-specific (of which two are transnational) and a national Ordinariate for the Faithful of Eastern Rite for all others without rite-proper Ordinary.
