If anyone’s confused as to why, it’s because France removed some regions and made them part of another a while ago.

Great quiz!

Unfortunately, from a geography buff point of view, France now has only 13 regions. Need to update. Thanks!

All this time waiting to end up with ridiculous names like "Grand Est" and worst of all "Hauts de France". Now I've heard they genuinely want to rename PACA into "Région Sud"

Seriously, what's it gonna be next? Corsica as "Bas à droite de France"? Guyanne as "France du loin"?

Couldn't agree more Relox84, what are they doing? Before long the day will be divided into ten decimal hours, there'll be ten-day weeks, uniform 30-day months - renamed so that December is called "frosty, January "snowy", February "rainy", March "windy" and so on - and there will be a demand that the whole world use kilometres: shocking. On a more (or perhaps less) serious note, now there are only 13 regions, perhaps it is time to include l'outre-mer in the (English version) quiz.

I saw that some regions are in french and others in english

In french (i'm french) we don't say "brittany" "corsica" or "normandy".

We say "bretagne" "corse" and "normandie"

But they are regions of France. They just happen not to be located in Europe. Omitting them is like omitting Hawaii and Alaska in a US states quiz.

I have never been to France, nor do I know much about it. I guessed all regions on my first try simply from my knowledge of history and geography, many of the names have little hints like that.

As a french I think that if you put some regions names in french, we need to make them all in french and not in "French and english"

- Brittany is "Bretagne"

- Corsica is "Corse"

- Normandy is "Normandie"

It can be a little bit confusing

Anyway, it was a good quizz ;)

All of these are what the regions are known as in English. The fact that some of them retain French orthography doesn't make them 'French' in this context.

Yes, it is the same in French. We say Nouvelle-Orléans et Nouveau-Mexique but we keep New York and New Jersey.

Probably because York and Jersey have no traduction in French unlike Mexico and Orleans (well, this one is originally French).

I guess it is the same for the French regions. The ones that have an English name are old and have a big history (Corsica, Brittany, Normandy...), but those who stick with the French name are new (Grand Est, Hauts-de-France, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté... well this one is tricky because Bourgogne and Franche-Comté have a long history but now that there are together, it belongs to the new names, hence no Burgundy-Franche-Comté).

In the 18th century Encyclopédie, New York is referred to as 'la Nouvelle Yorck', so evidently it just didn't catch on for some reason.

Instead of saying "Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur" which is way too long, you can say PACA. The inhabitants love it.
