		France is divided into 26 administrative régions: 22 are in metropolitan France (21 are on the continental part of metropolitan France; one is the "territorial collectivity" of Corse, on the island of Corsica, commonly referred to as a région in common speech), and four are overseas régions.
		In 2003, France's natural population growth (excluding immigration) was responsible for almost all the natural growth in European population: the population of the European Union increased by 216,000 inhabitants (without immigration), of which 211,000 was the increase in France's population alone, and 5,000 was the increase in all the other countries of the EU combined.

		Government officials said the extra demand for teachers created by the scheme would partly be filled by re-allocating language teachers from secondary schools who were not working their full complement of hours.

	A2Z Languages: Bordeaux, France - Wine-growing region
		The 1000-sq-km wine-growing area around the city of Bordeaux is - along with Burgundy - France's most important producer of top-quality wines.
		Traditionally, Bordelais wine-makers have dealt with city-based négociants (merchants) to market their wine and have not sold direct from source, as is the case in other wine-growing areas of France such as Burgundy or Alsace.
		You will probably have better luck tasting and purchasing wines at retail wine merchants (such as those in Saint Émilion) than at châteaux - and at least at the shops you can produce a credit card to pay for a case of wine, something almost unheard of at the châteaux.
