Departments of France


In driving throughout Provence this year, especially with the GPS, we learned something new. We had been aware that France has various "departments" rather like counties in the US where each is assigned a number. Our house is in department 13, and we realized in looking at license plates on cars while we are driving that the last two digits of the French license plate contains the number of the department in which the car is registered.
