Please name me a country in europe more liberal than France, other than Sweden or Holland.
Almost all of them, potentially including Franco's Spain.
Please don't say liberal. In Europe that means something like an extremely moderate libertarian, usually with some welfare interests and some market reforms. Most of the European liberals left for America along with a lot of the middle class and the lowest echelons of the aristocracy. That's why virtually every American is a liberal (constitutionalism, free markets, democracy, but especially individual constitutional and civil rights), and why the worst things in America are to be un-democratic or even worse unfree. In some European countries, especially just a few decades ago, neither of those was even half the insult it is here. America is liberal, and the Republicans are actually a (market or classical) liberal party. The Democrats are a left liberal party stretching into social democrat territory.
What you should say is more left or more left-wing. And France, despite having for a long time (let's say post-WWII) a very high number of Communists for a Western European country, is not very left. It's widely considered racist, nationalistic and as mentioned before Le Pen (who literally but briefly mentioned something about sending Jews to the gas) got into the second round in the Presidential elections.
And if you say liberal anyway, it's also got a very long history of an extremely strong state, a very centralized culture, a very top-down regime, the President and government are extremely powerful in their legislative abilities, the Presidential terms are a whopping 7 years long (with a 2-term limit) and there's nothing like the federalism we know here. It's an extremely unitary state and has been at least since Richelieu, then Louis XIV and then the French Revolution.
And Le Pen is a fascist, don't act otherwise. He's not some reasonable conservative. It's true that more or less every party (Socialists, Communists, RPR-Gaullists, and Le Pen's FN) has had some major member or party effort somehow involved in anti-Semitism or racism. In the 1980s a Socialist PM chided neo-Nazis for bombing a Jewish temple, saying that innocent people might have been hurt - even though jews were actually harmed, suggesting that Jews deserved to be hurt but they shouldn't risk non-Jewish Frenchmen. In 1991 Chirac characterized black people and Muslims as living in public housing with many wives and tons of children, then said they were very noisy and smelly. The Communists also at least once used anti-immigrant, racist propaganda in their pamphlets to fight back FN advances in certain neighborhoods.
Since the late 1960s, more than 60% of French surveyed say there are "too many" North Africans in France, in 1999 51% said there are too many Arabs, and a whopping FORTY PERCENT ADMITTED TO BEING RACIST. - The Economist, June 5, 1999
By the late 1990s 25 to 30 percent of the French public had voted for Le Pen's FN at least once.
The National Front has members and leaders that suggested or hinted at taking power by force, all of them are vigorously anti-immigrant into open racist territory, many are former veterans bitter about losing the empire, losing the colonies, losing Indochina and Algeria. Le Pen is a former paratrooper who fought in both places. What do we know about fascist parties? Anti-semitic, anti-market, make veiled threats at democracy, racist, horribly anti-immigrant (a signature Nazi issue, the Nazis coined terms for the anti-immigrant movement) and they are often made up of former soldiers and militarists who are bitter and resentful about losing a war. Hitler and many Nazis were WWI veterans, after all, and so were many Italian fascists.
Le Pen is just this side of out and out fascist. And France isn't that far from him, either.
