Are the overseas regions included?

The map shows metropolitan France; the overseas regions are not on it.

Do the small ones get names?

Yes. Where there is no room inside, the name is set outside with a thin line to it, so none is left off; A3 paper gives them more room.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: the regions are numbered and pupils write each name and capital, with the answers on page two.

What are the capitals of France’s regions?

Lille (Hauts-de-France), Rouen (Normandy), Paris (Île-de-France), Strasbourg (Grand Est), Rennes (Brittany), Nantes (Pays de la Loire), Orléans (Centre-Val de Loire), Dijon (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), Bordeaux (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), Lyon (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), Toulouse (Occitania), Marseille (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) and Ajaccio (Corsica). All 13 are marked and named.

Which paper should I choose?

US Letter and A4 both hold every name inside its region, the sheet turned landscape. A3 makes the names larger for a wall, and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté fits on one line.

Example

France’s 13 regions and their capitals on one landscape sheet, Lille to Ajaccio

A high-school French class plans an imaginary trip round France and needs a labelled map. With the page’s settings, “With the names” and “Mark the capitals”, on US Letter, metropolitan France fills a landscape sheet (279 × 216 mm; 297 × 210 on A4): 13 regions named, 13 capital dots, Paris ringed as the national capital.

Every name fits inside its region on every paper, so there are no leader lines. Two long names wrap: Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (one line on A3) and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
Corsica is drawn in place, south-east of the mainland, with Ajaccio marked. The overseas regions are not on this map.
For a quiz the next week, switch the style to “Numbered, to write the names and capitals”: page 1 numbers the 13 regions, page 2 is the answer key.

Region	Capital
Hauts-de-France	Lille
Normandy	Rouen
Île-de-France	Paris (ringed)
Grand Est	Strasbourg
Brittany	Rennes
Pays de la Loire	Nantes
Centre-Val de Loire	Orléans
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté	Dijon
Nouvelle-Aquitaine	Bordeaux
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes	Lyon
Occitania	Toulouse
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur	Marseille
Corsica	Ajaccio

One sheet with 26 names, 13 regions and 13 capitals. The capitals that trip students up: Rouen (not Caen) for Normandy, Orléans (not Tours) for Centre-Val de Loire, Marseille (not Nice) for Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, and Lyon for Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

How it works

The map names the regions of France and marks each capital with a dot and its name.
Choose the paper — A3 leaves more room for the names — or the blank style for a quiz.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
