Division of France
Before the Revolution, France was administratively organized into provinces. Since the Constituent Assembly of 26 February 1790, France has been divided into departments (originally 83). Today there are 96 metropolitan departments and five overseas departments (Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Réunion and Mayotte) for a total of 101.
The metropolitan departments were originally numbered in alphabetical order (01 Ain, 02 Aisne, 03 Allier, 04 Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, 12 Aveyron, 13 Bouches-du-Rhône, 93 Seine-Saint-Denis, 94 Val-de-Marne, etc.), before name changes and the redrawing of the Ile-de-France region in 1968. Corsica has two departments (20A and 20B), which is why the numbering stops at 95 (not 96).
The French departments correspond to administrative divisions placed under the authority of a prefect and administered by a General Council. The department's own powers mainly concern health and social action, rural amenities, departmental roads and the capital and operating expenditure of the colleges.

Number of municipalities in France
On 1 January 2012, France had 36,700 municipalities in metropolitan France and overseas departments, i.e. twenty more municipalities than on 1 January 2011: three more in metropolitan France and 14 in Mayotte.
UPDATE: In 2013, France only has 36681 cities, a difference of 19, a consequence of 8 new communes created and 27 communes disappearing.
Most often the disappearances are the consequence of absorption by mergers by other communes. The creations, for their part, are the result of mergers of cities (2 or more). This is the reason why the number of cities in France tends to change from one year to the next.
