Talk:Prefectures in France

Role of the préfecture in départements
"There are 100 préfectures in France, one for each département." There are actually 96 départements in France, not 100. Dick Kimball (talk) 21:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it is 100: 96 départements in metropolitan France and 4 overseas départements. (There will be 101 beginning in 2011 with the addition of Mayotte.) Charvex (talk) 09:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
