Continental France
@continentalfranceAbout
Metropolitan France, also known as European France, is the area of France which is geographically in Europe and chiefly comprises the mainland, popularly known as "the Hexagon", and Corsica. This collective name for the European regions of France is used in everyday life in France but has no administrative meaning, with the exception that only Metropolitan France is part of the Schengen Area. Indeed, the overseas regions have exactly the same administrative status as the metropolitan regions. Metropolitan France comprises mainland France and Corsica, as well as nearby French islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the English Channel and the Mediterranean Sea waters. Its borders have undergone significant changes over the centuries, particularly in the east, but have remained unaltered since 1962. In contrast, overseas France is the collective name for all the French departments and territories outside Europe. Metropolitan and overseas France together form the French Republic. Read more
