Departments of France - Courtesy of Wikipedia
In the context of the political and geographic organization of France and many of its former colonies, a department (French: département is an administrative division roughly analogous to an English county. The 100 French departments are now grouped into 22 metropolitan and four overseas regions. All regions have identical legal status as integral parts of France. They are subdivided into 342 arrondissements. (source:wikipedia)
