130 departments of the First French Empire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the 130 departments (French: départements), the conventional name for the administrative subdivisions of the First French Empire at the height of its territorial extent (c. 1811).
Note that the Illyrian Provinces were also part of France, but were not organised into departments, and so are not included in this list.
The names of departments formed from territories annexed to France after 1791 have been colour-coded as follows:
| Former territory of the Holy Roman Empire on the left bank of the Rhine, annexed on various dates between 1795 and 1801 | |
| Former territory of the Kingdom of Sardinia, annexed in 1792 (Duchy of Savoy) and 1793 (County of Nice) | |
| Former territory of the Subalpine Republic (annexed in 1802) and the Ligurian Republic (annexed in 1805) | |
| Former territory of the Kingdom of Etruria (annexed in 1807) and the Duchy of Parma (annexed in 1808) | |
| Former territory of various German states, annexed in 1807[citation needed] and 1810 | |
| Former territory of the Papal States, annexed in 1809 | |
| Former territory of the Kingdom of Holland, annexed in 1810 | |
| Former territory of the Rhodanic Republic, annexed in 1810 |
