Fill in the 25 squares with 3 1K+ French cities based on the categories in the top row and the region given in the cell. For example, if you are looking at a cell with ‘Ile-de-France’ in its row, and ‘Starts With M’ in the column, that cell can be filled in with ‘Montreuil.’

Full names of cities must be used otherwise the quiz is a little too easy. For example, no shortened versions such as ‘Saint Etienne’ for the many ‘Saint Etienne de…’ cities are accepted.

Overseas regions/territories are not included. Regions are the 13 regions of metropolitan France.

Occasionally a cell may not have any qualifying answer, in which case it will be filled in bright green and be a gimme. Cells with two answers left will have a very dark green background, those with one answer left more of an evergreen shade, and finally bright green for those which have been completed. Some cells with only 1 or 2 valid answers will start with a green shade corresponding to how many answers are left.

hugequiz Premium members will see missed answers in red – they will be the largest city which qualified in each cell – only one miss will be shown per incomplete cell.
