Answers to Questions (FAQ)

What is a French department? (Definition)

In France, a department is a geographical area dividing the territory. France is divided into 101 departments from an INSEE point of view (administrative districts) but officially only 95 departments as territorial collectivities.

How are selected French departments numbers?

Departments are mostly numbered in alphabetical order. But the history of France has caused some adjustments and exceptions to the rule.

The department number is actually a 2 or 3 character code that is numeric (preceded by a zero if necessary) or exceptionally alphanumeric (Corsica for example).

The code is 2 characters long for the departments of metropolitan France, and 3 characters for the overseas (In addition to the departments, overseas collectivities also have a code).

Example: 01 Ain
2A Corse du Sud

What is department 96?

When the numbers were implemented, metropolitan France had numbers from 01 to 90, Algeria numbers from 91 to 94, Morocco 95, Tunisia 96 and other French territories 98. Then, the departments of Overseas have received the prefix 97. Finally, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria have taken their independence and numbers 91 to 96 have been released. Today none use the 96.
