France and France Metropolis, Are they the same country or different?

Question

I checked my DVD Rom setting, And I found France is on Region 2 and France Metropolis is on Region 4.

This made me really confused.

French People help me.

Thanks.

Answer 1

when you find france and france metropolis on the DVD or something else, it is because of the french terrytory outside france.

You must that some part of the wordl belong to france without being in France, like Martinique, Guyane, Tahiti, New Caledonia and other.

So France metropolis meens France in Europe, France alone refers to the belonging outside of europe.

What is strange is that France metropolis is on Region 2, and the rest may be on Region 4....

Hope I help
