France

France's topography presents a rich tapestry of varied landscapes, ranging from expansive plains to towering mountain ranges. In the north and west, the terrain is predominantly composed of flat plains and gently rolling hills, exemplified by the Paris Basin, which offers fertile soils ideal for agriculture. Contrastingly, the eastern and southern regions are marked by significant mountainous formations. The Alps in the east boast Mont Blanc, Western Europe's highest peak at 4,810 meters (15,781 feet), while the Pyrenees form a natural barrier along the Spanish border, characterized by rugged peaks and deep valleys. Central France is dominated by the Massif Central, an ancient highland region featuring a mix of plateaus and extinct volcanic peaks. Additionally, the Jura Mountains along the eastern frontier and the Vosges in the northeast contribute to the country's diverse elevation profile. France also boasts a lengthy coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the English Channel, with cliffs, sandy beaches, and rocky coves. The country’s varied topography contributes to its rich biodiversity, from alpine meadows to Mediterranean scrublands.
