Well at least in France you won't get stung by a Box or Irukandji Jellyfish,

Not forgetting the venomous snakes, of course.

There are venomous snakes in France too.

Aw, gee! Sorry, but the word "venomous" is more of a technical
term than a reality when applied to any European animal. By far
the most dangerous animal, as far as venom is concerned, is our
well-known and well-loved Apis mellifera.

Some of them are a bit more dangerous than the British adder,
but none of them compete even with the ones in North America,
and those don't compete with the ones in any of the other
continents (except Antarctica, of course).
