Travel Journal - France by Region

Just about every travel book on France seems to arrange its information according to different divisions. Our Travel Journal for France is arranged according to the 22 principle Regions of France. The individual Regions are listed in the left-hand navigation bar as well as below with the Administrative Departments for each as well as the "capital" city for each Department. Often, seeing the city name helps to pinpoint the Region one is considering. .

The identificationof Regions and Departments can be helpful. In France, each of the Regions is composed of a number of individual Administrative Departments. Each Administrative Department has a two digit number, and that number if found as the first two digits of the Postal Code. So, Paris, with postal codes that start with 75, means Paris is Administrative Department 75.
