Tags for France

F (France):

France changed the division of its regions in 2016:

The text of the law gives interim names for most of the new regions by combining the names of the former regions, e.g. the region composed of Aquitaine, Poitou-Charentes and Limousin is Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes. However, the combined region of Upper and Lower Normandy is simply called “Normandy” (Normandie). Permanent names will be proposed by the new regional councils and confirmed by the Conseil d’Etat by 1 July 2016. The legislation defining the new regions also allowed the Centre region to officially change its name to “Centre-Val de Loire”; this change was effective from January 2015.

[edit 27.07.2016] So, the new names are decided, time to change the tags. And since I have now visited all regions of France by reorganisation instead of more traveling, I’ll also delete the map.
