About France

France occupies the heart of Western Europe, stretching from the English Channel to the Mediterranean and from the Atlantic to the Alps. Its capital, Paris, has shaped art, fashion and ideas for centuries, while the countryside ranges over vineyards, lavender fields and Alpine peaks. Through overseas territories scattered across the globe, France reaches far beyond the 'Hexagon' of its mainland into the Caribbean, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

• ·Counting its overseas territories, France spans twelve time zones, more than any other country in the world.
• ·France's longest land border is with Brazil, thanks to French Guiana in South America.
• ·Mont Blanc, rising above the French-Italian border, reaches about 4,800 meters, the highest peak in Western Europe.
