The Birth of Modern France — The Départements System
This fascinating restored 1831 map of France in Départements documents one of the most enduring legacies of the French Revolution — the reorganization of France into its iconic administrative divisions. Replacing the ancient provinces of the Ancien Régime, the départements were designed to create a unified, rational French nation. This map shows that system in its early form, with the names and boundaries that still largely define France today.
A uniquely intellectual piece for lovers of French administrative history, political geography, and the revolutionary transformation of the French state.
