As you say, some constituencies would be very small on a national map, those in Metropolitan areas would still be pretty small on a regional scale - and dragging regions in seems illogical to me as they pay no part in the review process or any other aspect of Parliament.

 Guardian Unlimited | World dispatch | National Front heads for French parliament
After the shock of last month's twisted presidential poll, in which the National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen sensationally knocked out the Socialist prime minister Lionel Jospin before being crushed by Chirac in the second-round run-off, the parliamentary elections were billed as the ones that really mattered.
Disillusionment with the mainstream left is also reflected in the fact that up to seven radical left candidates are standing in many of France's 577 constituencies, triggering a potentially catastrophic scattering of the left-of-centre vote that shows the lessons of the presidential election have been far from learned.
Under the complex rules, the two winners in each constituency advance to the second round, accompanied by any candidate who scores more than 12.5% of the local registered vote.

The idea that the parliamentary Labour party would go through the Lobby to destroy 50 of its own Members, to redraw all the constituencies and to introduce a new group of piggy-back Members is ludicrous.

It should be noted that the next smallest constituency has about 50,000, but the point is still valid.
