How many regions are there in France?

How many regions does France have?

  • Answer:

    There are 22 administrative regions in mainland France, and four more overseas. Each region is divided into smaller administrative areas called "départements" (96 départements in mainland France and 4 overseas, for the overseas départements are the same as the overseas regions) [Another oversea 'département' is to be created in 2011 (Mayotte) but it will not be made a region on its own at the same time] Sorry but the above isn't right. There are 95 mainland departments (called France Metropolitaine) in France + 4 overseas depts (known as DOM-TOM), 99 in total. There are 22 regions in mainland France + 4 regions in overseas France, 26 in total.
