List of counties and duchies of France
The following list of counties and duchies of France contains the French lordships that arose from the Frankish Gauconstitution , the district of a count ( Comté ), as well as the lordships that developed from it.
Those rulers who - such as Lorraine, for example - came to France later were also accepted.
Most of these counties and duchies were attached to the crown domain ( Domaine royal ) and converted into provinces over the centuries . Other rulers were elevated to titular counties and duchies by raising their rank.
