Playa El Francés is a free campsite situated along the shore of Lago Futalaufquen within Los Alerces National Park in Chubut, Argentina. It sits in a setting of native Patagonian forest and offers direct access to the lake's tranquil waters.

The site is a notable stop along the Andean Circuit trekking route, where hikers arrive after passing through forest and pampa terrain with views of Cerro Riscoso and the surrounding lake landscape.

From here, the route continues along the lakeshore to the day-use area at Punta Mattos, near the Park Ranger station. The most demanding nearby trail is the Huella Andina Trek section connecting Seccional Arrayanes to Punta Mattos.
