Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Slice the French bread into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal to create oval-shaped pieces. You should get about 12-16 slices.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Brush each piece lightly with extra virgin olive oil on both sides.
Toast the bread in the oven for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Finely mince the garlic and fresh parsley. Set aside.
Drain the marinated artichoke hearts and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the black olive tapenade, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, minced parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
To assemble, spoon about a tablespoon of the tapenade and artichoke mixture onto each toasted bread slice, spreading it evenly.
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.
