Answer 1Central to Southern Europe.France is a large country with its Northern borders close to the center line of Europe while the South of France meets the Mediterranean Sea. It would therefore qualify as one of the Southern countries of the continent.Answer 2France would be regarded as being in Western Europe, so neither the north or the south of Europe. France has Coastlines on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The western end of Europe is much narrower on a north to south basis, than further east, and France spans a lot of that area.
