Abstract
France, the largest country in Western Europe, is made up of beautiful rolling farm-lands, flanked by the mountains ranges of the Alps to the east, the Pyrenees to the south and the Vosges to the northeast. The remains of older mountain belts form both the Massif Central, in the middle of the country, and the rocky peninsula of Normandy projecting into the Atlantic. The Seine and Garonne Rivers drain the western part of the country into the Atlantic, while the Rhone, in the east, flows southward into the Mediterranean. France also owns the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean. The country supports a population of 63 million.
