The map below shows the location of many of the medieval regions in France within the approximate
political boundaries of the ancient provinces at about the time our first French ancestors migrated to Canada.

To print this map on one 8-1/2 by 11 inch sheet, you will have to reduce it to
about 60% since it's present size is 12 inches wide and about 16 inches high.
