How it works

This European map in French asks for 48 countries, each with the article French gives it: la France, le Portugal, les Pays-Bas. A country lights up, and you pick its French name from four. The names follow France's official list.

How a round goes

A country lights up and you pick its French name, such as l'Allemagne, from four. After a miss the right name is shown. A round is one region: Europe de l'Ouest first, then Europe du Sud in two halves, Europe du Nord, Europe de l'Est, and last Turquie, Chypre et Caucase.

Type the French name instead

Open More options and choose Type it. Accents are forgiven and the article can be left out, so grece counts for la Grèce. Find it runs the other way: a French name is given and you tap or click the country. The same menu switches every name to English.

  • L' hides the gender. Every l' country on this map is feminine except l'Azerbaïdjan.
  • Press Show me the labels first and tap a country to read its capital in French: Londres, Vienne, Varsovie, Lisbonne.
  • Print blank makes a numbered worksheet of the map. Print labelled is its answer key.

Questions and answers

Is it en France, au Portugal or aux Pays-Bas?

All three are right. En goes before a feminine country or any that starts with a vowel: en France, en Azerbaïdjan. Au goes before a masculine one: au Portugal. Aux goes before a plural: aux Pays-Bas. A country with no article takes à: à Malte.

Which European countries are masculine in French?

Le Danemark, le Liechtenstein, le Luxembourg, le Monténégro, le Portugal, le Royaume-Uni and l'Azerbaïdjan. Les Pays-Bas is masculine and plural. Monaco and Saint-Marin are masculine too and take no article, like Chypre and Malte. The other 36 are feminine, with la or l'.

Why does the map say la République tchèque and la Biélorussie?

Those are the names in France's official list. The United Nations writes Tchéquie and Bélarus in its French documents, as well as Moldova and Türkiye, and the type-in box accepts those too.

Where do the French names come from?

From the list of countries, capitals and inhabitants that France's foreign ministry published in the Journal officiel on September 24, 2008. Légifrance refused automated reading on the day of the check, so the Internet Archive copy of October 24, 2025 was read.
