Capgemini, BNB Paribas, LVMH, Carrefour, Credit Agricole, Sanofi, Engie, Societe Generale, all declined more than 1 percent.
The EUR/USD gained 0.24 percent to trade at 1.0745, whereas the Dollar Index shed 0.15 percent to trade at 104.65.
Bond yields hardened across Europe and in tandem, yields on France's ten-year bonds have spiked 0.10 percent to 3.144%.
