This module populate the table *res_country_state* with the french
states (*Régions françaises*), but only the french states of mainland.
If you need the overseas states, please install the module
*l10n_fr_department_oversea*.

In the past, the module was using 3166-2:FR codifications without
country prefix (more detail on
[Wikipedia](http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:FR)), but
unfortunately this codification hasn't been updated since 2013, so we
can't use it with the new organisation of regions that was introduced on
January 1st 2016. So we switched to the INSEE codification, cf
[Wikipedia
(Codes_géographiques_de_la_France)](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codes_g%C3%A9ographiques_de_la_France)
; by the way, this codification is also used by
[geonames.org](http://www.geonames.org/).
