This is the region of France where the inhabitants are the most chauvinistic, and they say why

Surprise, in 2024, the Bretons are not the most chauvinistic inhabitants of France&nbsp ;!

Each region of France brings its share of landscapes, distinctive natural and gastronomic heritage, with unique specialties and deep-rooted traditions. Their identity makes its inhabitants proud, as demonstrated by a Sociovision survey for TF1 carried out in 2021, which revealed that 87% of French people felt good where they lived and 83% were proud of their region. But then who are the inhabitants most attached to their region in 2024? We got the answer to through our survey carried out from October 3 to 7, 2024 on 2,070 people representative of the French national population. comfortable, aged 18 and over, carried out by the YouGov France polling institute,

If the French chose Provence as their favorite region among the 13 regions of France with a score of 13.21%, it is a region that has long been shunned in the past that comes in second place on the podium, with 11.94% of the votes. And the surprise was size when we were able to note that one in two inhabitants of the region in question placed this choice in first position! And no, it is not Brittany, long designated as the most chauvinistic region… Small but significant clue: it is the first economic region of France, renowned for its large number of company headquarters, but also for its prestigious cultural sites.

You're still not there ? This is the Île-de-France region! Indeed, our survey revealed that 54% of Ile-de-France residents chose their region as their “favorite” region in France, while 34% of Provence residents chose their own region. And yet, before and after the Covid crisis, it was not a region that was really popular. For a better “living environment”, 85% of Parisians were ready to leave their region, according to a survey by Michael Page and Page Personnel carried out in 2015. But what could have changed ? The region's cultural heritage has never been as rich and accessible from Greater Paris. Whether it is natural, architectural, artistic or gastronomic… the people of the Paris region are delighted!

The Ile-de-France region, which concentrates 19% of the French metropolitan population, has become even more attractive beyond Paris intramural, a true open-air museum well known for its emblematic museums and monuments. The increased development of Greater Paris this year, with its dense public transport network, has multiplied cultural offerings and leisure activities.

With its forests and green parks, castles (Rambouillet now open to the public, Saint-Germain-en-Laye which is home to the National Museum of Archaeology), its historic towns (Provins, Senlis, Moret-sur-Loing etc.) and its picturesque villages (La Roche-Guyon, Barbizon, Giverny etc.) which offer a pleasant living environment, Île-de-France has truly become a region where it's good to live.
