Regions existing on 1 January 2019 Source: ADMIN EXPRESS COG 2019 edition - IGN - Original data uploaded to: http://professionnels.ign.fr/adminexpress on 27 August 2019; The word region covers several different realities: the administrative, military, health, cultural region... In the present case, the concept of region is the regional administrative district which includes several departments, and which was defined as a territorial collectivity by the decentralization law of 2 March 1982. This entity also covers regions with special status such as the Ile-de-France region, Corsica or overseas regions. Like the department, the region can be considered hybrid since it has at its head, a president and an elected assembly, as well as a regional prefect. In order to better meet some of their needs which are common to other local authorities and which often go beyond the framework and capacities of a regional entity, regions may join one or more inter-local authority institutions to each of which they will delegate one or more competences in order to pool the resources necessary to achieve their objectives. The list of administrative regions is under the responsibility of INSEE. The Sandre administrative regions referential is based on the current version of the Official Geographic Code of INSEE: codes and labels valid regions.
