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, 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 above sea level, the highest point in Western Europe, Mont Blanc, is situated in the Alps on the border between France and Italy. 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 below sea level). Corsica lies off the Mediterranean coast.
Metropolitan France is situated between 41° and 51° North, on the western edge of Europe, and thus lies within the northern temperate zone. The north and northwest have a temperate climate, while a combination of maritime influences, latitude and altitude produce a varied climate in the rest of Metropolitan France. In the south-east a Mediterranean climate prevails. In the west, the climate is predominantly oceanic with a high level of rainfall, mild winters and cool to warm summers. Inland the climate becomes more continental with hot, stormy summers, colder winters and less rain. The climate of the Alps and other mountainous regions is mainly alpine (not Himalayan then).
Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (French: Aéroport Paris-Charles de Gaulle), also known as Roissy Airport (or just Roissy in French), in Paris, is one of the world's principal aviation centres, as well as France's main international airport. It is named after Charles de Gaulle.
