"Regions" in France as opposed to just Town names - a website to go from one to the other?

I want to search for Property and holidays in france and lots of websites ask for the "region"
but i know the town names not the regions they are in
so is there a website that will give me the region if i type in the French town name ?

Answers:
Yes it's called wikipedia.

Hi

France is divided into communes, departements, regions.
Not sure if you are looking for departements or regions.

France has a complex zip code system which will help you :

1) Key the town name here : http://www.laposte.fr/rubrique.php3?id_r.
2)The database will give you a postcode.
3)The first two digits of the code will tell you which departement the town is in.

Wikipedia has a chart and map of the departements here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/d%c3%a9part. and regions are here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/r%c3%a9gion.

There is a list of Languedoc-Rousillon postcodes here : http://www.the-languedoc-page.com/proper.

Bonne chance !
