France (UK: /ˈfrɑːns/; US:
i/ˈfræns/; French: [fʁɑ̃s] (
)),
officially the French Republic (French: République
française [ʁepyblik
fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a sovereign country in Western Europe that includes overseas regions and
territories.[note 13] Metropolitan
France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the
North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of only three
countries (with Morocco and Spain) to have both Atlantic and
Mediterranean coastlines. Due to its shape, it is often referred to in French as
l’Hexagone ("The Hexagon").More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France
