There are 18 administrative regions in France. These are split into two categories: metropolitan and overseas.
- Metropolitan France: 13 regions located in Europe.
- Overseas France: 5 regions located outside of Europe.
Here's a breakdown:
| Type | Number | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Metropolitan | 13 | Europe |
| Overseas | 5 | French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion |
| Total | 18 |
It is important to distinguish these regions from overseas collectivities, which possess a semi-autonomous status distinct from the administrative regions.
