Answer:
France is mostly plains (especially on the Western side) or low raised plateaus with an altitude less than 300 metres.
Five major landforms may be :
- plains (plaine de la Brie, Plaine de la Beauce)
- plateaus (plateau des Causses, plateau des Cévennes)
- hills (collines des Vosges, collines du Sancerrois)
- valleys (vallée de la Loire, vallée du Rhône)
- mountains (Alps, Pyrénées, Massif Central)
The highest mountain ranges are the French Alps, borduring Italy and the South of Switzerland (Mont Blanc has the highest elevation in Europe), the Pyrénées straddling the border with Spain, and the smaller Massif du Jura borduring Swirtzerland. The Massif Central is another, older mountain range of lower elevation in south central France.
