France, officially known as the French Republic, is a country in Western Europe and is the third-largest country in Europe by area. The capital city is Paris, which is also the largest city and serves as the cultural and commercial centre of the country. France shares its borders with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Andorra, and Monaco. In addition to its many overseas territories, the island of Corsica is also part of France. The country has mild winters and warm summers, with most rainfall occurring in spring and autumn.
