A Brief History of the Regions of
France
• Before the French Revolution of 1789, France was made up of
about 30 provinces.
• During the Revolution, the département, was created.
• The purpose of départements was to break up the power of the old
provinces and centralize authority.
• There are currently 95 départements in France and 22
regions/provinces of France.
• Each region has its own social & economic development plan and
addresses the national government with its developmental issues.
