Post subject: Regions in France |
|
|
Hello
I am working on a French travel site and would like to obtain data that tells me the geographical boundaries of different regions in France such as Brittany, Normandy, etc.
In short, I'm looking for a series of co-ordinates that define the boundaries for each of these regions. Is this information freely available, do you know?
Thanks

Hi Aaron
I'm not sure of what you're looking for ...
Are you asking about boudaries of the civics regions, or the historical ones ? As it's far easy to find the firsts.
You can get them on googlemaps. For the other, it mainly depends on when you want them.
For a good start, you may find there http://www.migrations.fr/images/CarteFrance17.jpg a map showing France in the XVIIth century (in fact, it's almost nowadays France, exept of the Nice county).
Hoping it's a piece of help...

While Metropolitan France is located in Western Europe, France also has a number of territories in North America, the Caribbean, South America, the southern Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica. These territories have varying forms of government ranging from overseas department to overseas collectivity.
Metropolitan France covers 547,030 square kilometres (211,209 sq mi), having the largest area among European Union members and slightly larger than Spain. France possesses a wide variety of landscapes, from coastal plains in the north and west to mountain ranges of the Alps in the south-east, the Massif Central in the south-central and Pyrenees in the south-west. At 4,807 metres (15,770 ft) above sea-level, the highest point in Western Europe, Mont Blanc, is situated in the Alps on the border between France and Italy.[16] Metropolitan France also has extensive river systems such as the Loire, the Garonne, the Seine and the Rhône, which divides the Massif Central from the Alps and flows into the Mediterranean sea at the Camargue, the lowest point in France (2 m / 6.5 ft below sea level). Corsica lies off the Mediterranean coast. |
