Thanks. Please accept Wallonie though. Also, yodeling seemingly never occured in the French Alps (and is called tyrolienne in French). You should consider greying out the letter Y imho

Nice quiz. But I don't understand the clue "Former palace in Paris" for V: Versailles is not in Paris?

The palace of Versailles is located in the city of Versailles (which is in the Yvelines department)
