It is the second time this year a delegation from France has visited the island and is the latest in a flurry of trips made by European and American politicians who have angered China.
The six-member delegation from the French National Assembly, headed by Francois de Rugy, will meet President Tsai Ing-wen and other top officials before leaving on Sunday, Taipei's foreign ministry said.
In October, China condemned a visit to Taiwan by a group of French senators led by Alain Richard, accusing the delegation of undermining relations between Paris and Beijing.
Richard's group made the trip despite warnings from China and he repeatedly called Taiwan a country during his stay.
On Wednesday, China's foreign ministry criticised the latest French visit, saying relevant parties should. The spokesman for Zhao Lijian said that they stopped sending false signals to Taiwan independence separatist forces China firmly opposes any official and political exchanges between Taiwan and other countries.
Beijing claims that Taiwan is a part of its territory and can be retaken by force if necessary.
It has tried to keep Taiwan isolated on the world stage and seethes at the official use of the name Taiwan or any reference to it as a country.
Since Tsai's 2016 election win, Beijing has ramped up pressure on Taiwan and aggressively tried to dissuade politicians from visiting.
Following a visit by a group of American lawmakers last month, China conducted military drills near the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan's defence minister warned that military tensions between the island and China were at their highest level in over four decades after around 150 Chinese warplanes were a record number of incursions into Taiwan's air defence zone in October.
