France is often referred to as l'hexagone because of its geographical shape. The country's mainland is roughly hexagonal in shape, hence the nickname. This term is commonly used in France due to the distinct outline of the country.
France owned more land in the first map.
A conformal map preserves shape, meaning angles are maintained. A equal-area map preserves size, meaning areas are accurately represented.
Distortion in a map may change the shape of a continent or country. This occurs when the map projection used does not accurately represent the true size and shape of land masses, often leading to differences in how they appear on the map compared to reality.

France is known as l'hexagone because of how it is shaped. If you look on a map, you will see what i mean.

France is sometimes nicknamed the hexagon because of the general shape of the country. In their geography lessons, French children are taught to first draw an hexagon to help them draw France's map.
France is known as the "hexagon" due to its roughly hexagonal shape on the map. The term was popularized by French President Charles de Gaulle in the 1960s.
A map in the shape of an oval is called the Mollweide Map.

Metropolitan France is often referred to a 'l'Hexagone, and is indeed roughly hexagonal in shape.
the general shape of mainland France fits roughly in an hexagon.
There is a map here of occupied France. The yellow part of the map is the Vichy area. http://www.oradour.info/appendix/francez1.htm
I assume you mean the country.(French republic). yes, it is sometimes called the Hexagon-Hexagone in fench- apparent reference to shape on a map. France is the largest country in Western Europe (discounting soviet bloc).
A conformal map is a type of map that preserves shape (angles) and a equal-area map preserves size (area). However, no single map projection can perfectly preserve both shape and size simultaneously across an entire map.
