The Ile de France, the inner part of the Paris basin, is the heartland of France, surrounded by the plains of Normandy, Champagne and Beauce and the district of Caux. Altogether 14 different historical territories form a girdle round Paris; and all the time the conurbation of Paris and its suburbs is reaching out ever farther into the open country which surrounds it.
The name of the Ile de France goes back to the 10th C., in the time of the Capetian kings, when the medieval counties in the region round Paris were united to form the duchy of Francia and later incorporated in the kingdom of France as the province of Ile de France. The province is now divided into the départements of Seine-et-Marne (chief town Melun), Yvelines
