Wow. Is that like us allowing a side from the Falkland Islands into the English FA Cup?

that's according to some football journalists on a podcast I listened to last night. I was aware that an absolutely crazy amount of teams entered.
They gave an official number. I will try and dig it out
By 1948, the number had increased to 1,000 and at present, the competition features more than 7,000 clubs. Due to the initial increase in clubs, the federation created preliminary rounds beginning with the 1919–20 season. The following season, they added a second preliminary round. As of today, the competition contains eight regional rounds with some regions containing as much as ten.

Very much so. CdF is am amazing competition, Any team in France or in a French territory can enter. More than 47 million teams entered this year. Frequently have some amazing upsets.
Typically if a very small team gets drawn at home to a giant then they offer to swap the fixture to be played at the bigger teams place. Top division sides give the gate receipts to very small teams they play against too (Marseille refused to give it this year and it has caused big controversy). I believe the French FA help cover flights and accommodation for small amateur teams from around the world that need to fly to the mainland.
If it was English we would proudly say it was the best club cup competition in the world, but it's French, so we don't.
The competition is organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and is open to all clubs in French football, as well as clubs from the overseas departments and territories (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia (Winner of 2019 New Caledonia Cup), Tahiti (Winner of 2018–19 Tahiti Cup), Réunion, Saint Martin and Saint Pierre and Miquelon).
