Departments of France

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

The départements (or departments) are administrative parts of France and many former French colonies, similar to English counties. The 100 French départements are now grouped into 22 metropolitan and four overseas régions. Their capitals are called préfectures.

Notes:

  1. The préfecture of Val-d'Oise was established in Pontoise when the department was created, but moved de facto to the neighbouring commune of Cergy; currently, both form the ville nouvelle of Cergy-Pontoise.
  2. The overseas departments are former colonies outside France that now enjoy a status similar to European or metropolitan France. They are part of France and of the EU, though special rules apply. Each of them constitutes a région at the same time.
