Only 40% of the couples are married in France, only 47% of the kids are born of married couples. It doesn't mean that the parents are not faithful to each other, it means that marriage is not obligatory anymore. You have Pacs (civil contract), or concubinage (cohabitation) which can also be recognised legally. There's no legal difference between a child born out of wedlock and a child born of a married couple.
So the answer is yes women have sexual relationships before marriage.
Virginity: Some do care for one reason or another (private, religious), some don't. Their choice. For the majority of the French virginity is something that is part of your private life, which means it is rude and even shocking to have any interest in it. It doesn't mean that French girls will hop in anyone's bed, the image carried by film and internet one-second-news is not showing the truth but just a small minority, more shocking and thus more interesting than the silent majority. Most French girls will want a steady relationship, even it if falls through later.
It's kind of a personal thing so I don't think it has much to do with culture. I'm half French and I'm waiting till marriage but people in Europe are a lot more liberal. I have aunties in France and one of them lost her virginity at 14, but I don't know. Some of the clubs are pretty crazy, so girls would leave with someone. Anyways, have fun

You're joking, right?
Most Europeans have sex before marriage. Virginity is not really considered all that important anymore.

I believe that they do. France, as most of Europe, is mostly not that conservative. Have you ever heard the expression "french opening"?
pretty sure that is a personal moral thing not a french thing
