The aim of this article is to analyse how French non-state actors respond to European integration. Based on the broad framework of Europeanization, the article looks in more detail at the consequences of the influence of European integration on two variables: first, on non-state actors' interest and, second, on their relationship with the state. The author argues that the influence of European integration on domestic non-state actors is differentiated, depending on two factors: first, on the different types of non-state actors - public interest groups, social or protest movements and business interests and, second, on the attitude the state has adopted towards these groups. As a consequence of these factors, European integration will bring about change that ranges from rejection to adaptation.
