France, officially the French Republic (French:
République française, is a state in Western Europe with several overseas
territories and islands located on other continents and in the Indian,
Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. Metropolitan France extends from the
Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the
Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as l’Hexagone ("The
Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory. It is
bordered (clockwise starting from the northeast) by Belgium, Luxembourg,
Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Monaco; with Spain and Andorra to the
south. France is linked to the United Kingdom by the Channel Tunnel,
which passes underneath the English Channel. In addition to these
borders on the European continent France has land borders with Suriname
and Brazil through French Guiana, as well as with The Netherlands
through the Collectivity of Saint Martin. France is the largest west-European

List
of Banks in France
The Banque de France
was created on 18 January 1800 by Napoléon Bonaparte,
who was then First Consul, to foster renewed economic
growth in the wake of the deep recession of the
Revolutionary period. The new Bank's task was to issue
bank notes payable to the bearer on sight in exchange
for discounted commercial bills.
The Banque de France is
the central bank of France; it is linked to the European
Central Bank (ECB). Its main charge is to implement the
interest rate policy of the European System of Central
Banks (ESCB). It is headquartered in Paris.
On 1 June 1998, a new
institution was created, the European Central Bank (ECB),
charged with steering the single monetary policy for the
euro. The body formed by the ECB, and the national
central banks (NCB) of all the member states of the
European Union, constitute the European System of
Central Banks (ESCB).
The ESCB is an institutional framework of a single
monetary policy for the euro. According to the Banque de
France's website, the "sharing of responsibilities
between the ECB and the NCBs is based upon significant
decentralization of the conduct of the ESCB's single
monetary policy".
