True but you see very different landscapes in these 3000kms and probably more diverse than in the 24000km of the Canadian trail.
Also if you like history you probably can visit some castles from different centuries along the way.
But it is true that on the French trail you cannot experience real wilderness where you encounter no humans for days and fear to do a bad encounter with wildlife.
The only wildlife that you'd probably see are ibex/chamois, beavers, vultures/eagles in the mountains, and if you are lucky wild boars, foxes, squirrels, deers, snakes and extremely lucky wolves in the Alps and bears in the Pyrenees.
