Countries bordering France: scope and list

Metropolitan France in Europe: eight land neighbours. Overseas France is excluded from this list.

8 countries in this list.

  • Andorra
  • Belgium
  • Switzerland
  • Germany
  • Spain
  • Italy
  • Luxembourg
  • Monaco

What to notice

Andorra and Monaco are easy to miss. The United Kingdom is across the Channel, so it is not a land neighbour. Outside this European scope, French Guiana gives France land borders with Brazil and Suriname; Saint Martin also creates a French–Dutch land boundary. Always read the clue’s territorial scope.

Recall countries bordering France

Separate the European list from overseas examples. Explain why Brazil can be correct for one France clue but wrong for another.
