France was actually two parts of Québec that drifted separately and then rejoined later on. The Paris region lingered in the ocean a bit longer, and people got accustomed to thinking of it as an island. That's why they named it Île-de-France.

Continental drift. This was a part of Brazil that broke off and drifted across the ocean. Then it joined up with the rest of Spain, which had broken off from Mexico. That's why the rest of Spain speaks Mexican.
