There are 22 administrative regions in mainland France, and four more overseas.

Each region is divided into smaller administrative areas called "départements" (96 départements in mainland France and 4 overseas, for the overseas départements are the same as the overseas regions)

[Another oversea 'département' is to be created in 2011 (Mayotte) but it will not be made a region on its own at the same time]
