France not currently does offer a French Golden Visa or any other residency by investment program:

All individuals looking to stay longer than three months or looking to immigrate to France must attain either a long-stay visa, also known as a Visa de Long Séjour, or a French Resident Permit. For any stay in France exceeding 90 days, you are required to apply in advance for a long-stay visa. In this instance, your nationality does not exempt you from the application requirements.

There are four main categories of long-stay visas:

Stay for an extended period for tourist or personal reasons.

Carry out a professional activity.

Pursue education.

Join family members.

Regardless of the duration of your planned stay, the period of time of your long-stay visa must be between three months and one year. In order to extend your stay beyond the period of validity of your visa, you must apply for a residence permit at a prefecture.

During its period of validity, the long-stay visa is equivalent to a Schengen visa, enabling you to move around and stay in the Schengen Area outside France for periods not exceeding 90 days over any period of 180 consecutive days, under the same conditions as if you held a Schengen visa.

Most nationalities are subject to long-stay visa requirements to stay in said territories for more than 90 days, with the exception of:

Citizens of the European Union, Monaco and Andorra, for all territories.

Citizens of the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, except French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis-et-Futuna and the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF).
