Lower oil prices and comments from U.S. President Donald Trump that U.S.-Iran talks could produce a positive outcome by this weekend contributed as well to the positive mood in the market.
Brent crude futures dropped to around $96 a barrel, losing about 1.6%.
The benchmark CAC 40 was up 67.65 points or 0.83% at 8,218.07 a few minutes past noon.
