France Wiki

The French Republic, commonly known as France, is a unitary semi-presidential republic in Western Europe with several overseas territories and islands located on other continents and in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. ...

Republic of France

Geomorphology and Human Geography

France is the largest country in Europe. It has coastlines on the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the English Channel. It borders Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Spain and Andorra.

The great basins of the north and south-west are the lowest parts of the country. The highest points are in the Alps, Jura, Pyrenees and the Massif Central.

The climate ranges from moderate maritime in the north, through to Mediterranean in the south. These climate conditions allow farming throughout France. The west is ideal for livestock and there is good arable land throughout the Paris basin. Some of the world's best wines are produced in the south-west around Bordeaux.

The main industrial area is in the north and east.

The capital of France is Paris, and this is where Google Inc., France offices are located.

How to access Google France

This French search engine can be accessed in several different ways. Each bypasses the automatic redirection of localised search or Google home page search:

  1. Type 'http://www.google.fr/' to access search results in French.

  2. If you have been classified by Google as 'France local' then click the 'aller a Google France' or 'aller a Google France, en Français' link at the lower right of the search homepage screen.

  3. You can obtain search results by adding or changing the “gl” parameter of the search URL, for example 'http://google.com/search?q=google&gl=fr'.

  4. Enter 'http://www.google.fr/intl/fr/', which redirects to the French home page 'http://www.google.fr/webhp?hl=fr' or 'http://www.google.fr/intl/en/', which redirects to Google France in English.

Plugin Checker

Firefox Google France
Firefox Google France

You can view just pages from France if you want to, using the Firefox browser, but only in the French version. Use the following Firefox URL:

http://www.google.fr/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:fr-FR:official

Firefox does not need to be your browser to use this. When on the Firefox page, ensure either the (Search) Rechercher dans 'Pages francophones' button or 'Pages : France' is set, instead of the (Search) 'Web' button.
