Departments of France
In the
administrative divisions of France
, the
department
(, ) is one of the three levels of government below the national level ("
territorial collectivities
"), between the
18 administrative regions
and the
commune
. There are 96 departments in
metropolitan France
and 5
overseas departments
, which also are classified as regions. Departments are further subdivided into 335
arrondissements
, themselves divided into
cantons
; the latter two have no autonomy and are used for the organisation of police, fire departments and sometimes elections.
