7:38 My guess for the black bricks is that Clermond Ferrand is in a volcanic region. The cathedral is a very famous all black "evil-looking" for example
This is true, the cathedral is made of lava stone and so are some of the houses Edit: Wanted to add that there are in fact dormant volcanoes in this area. The national park is called "Chaîne des Puys" and it is a dormant volcanic field
For the 11:10 round, you are in the massif central region wich is an old mountain range (as million years old) so it is has rolling hills but no peaks, a lot of granite (rocks that are also used for walls in Brittany), quite grassy and very rural. Britanny is an even older mountain so it is very much flatter but it as the same kind of rocks used for walls and roofs. In this round you could see some elevation which made it much more likely for massif central. Also there are many small villages there like the one where you are that don't look like elsewhere in France. I think the architecture of the church in the North is also typical with this type of roof, fat walls where you can see granite rocks in the corners and around windows but that are plain with white/cream color for the most part (this is very typical of that region). So to sum up : more elevation, more rural (think small farms and old people between hills), and some different architecture. Also you can often see exposed granite rocks in the landscape and granite bridges or crosses there. Massif central is a beautiful region. edit : the vegetation should also be much more southern, the trees you saw after moving are common in the south/southeast much more than in Brittany which has very green and lush greenery Actually you got quite a lot of massif central rounds that you often missed, 17:05 is another good example with granite, hills and rural feel, and the place where you guessed isn't really mountainous like that.
9:13 *Breton* language. It's a celtic language most closely related to Cornish :) In my experience, Cordyline australis (palms) are found in the Brittany/Nantes area, along the Western coast.
A good thing to notice is the steepness of roofs. The more the roof is steep, the more it rains in this region. North and britanny are the most rainy regions and basically the southern you go the less it rains
for the 11:04 round the following things strike me 1) the ribbed corners of the houses - i associate this with south west france, 2) the style of the shutters - feels southern 3) the style of the church, again it looks quite southern
That’s called the “diagonale du vide” (empty diagonal). The Wikipedia entry is interesting. It’s the section of France with very low population density, and everything looks a bit the same. Between Toulouse and Bordeaux in the south, going all the way up to Metz. Makes identification somewhat difficult.
Very excited to see this. I'm trying to get the #1 record in every department, so I grinded on France for years. And it's my country. Not gonna lie, I'm very lucky to have been everywhere with my trucker dad, thanks to this I know hundreds of cities. But the years of Geoguessr France ? Almost no improvement haha
I am a fellow Australian Geoguessr player who has just reached champion for the first time, i have been grinding hours every day and am wondering how I would go about entering tournaments when I believe I am good enough? (still a bit off yet, learning rural russia atm)
Hello, regarding black roofs, I think the ones that are found in the center of the country would have distingly thicker and larger slates, if that makes sense
In général, I would say not only the colour, but also the "texture" of the roofs, the type of material can be quite indicative, plus any type of black metal roof on houses will be to modern to fit into the black versus red roof meta.
@@chateauthibaultguess he meant general area, because there's like 100km from the border before you hit that kind of mountain steepness like the Vosges.
I feel like you would learn better using such an extensive guide if for the first couple of rounds you analyzed them using the guide simultaneously (like "cheating") so you get a better understanding and once you feel ready you play normally.
Amazing video as always bro! Where can I get guides for other countries like the one you showed in the video? It was extremely helpful and better than most common resources available.
As a french, it's a bit shameful that France is not my best country in geoguessr. Thanks for this tutorial
The drip on this man is insane
You have to be in france
The aussie winter with no heating and bad infrastructure drip 🥶🥶🥶
He wears cow meta drip
13:54 pain is bread in french

seriously the best youtube channel ive seen for learning geogessr. this series feels like im learning right with you keep it up!
Been a while since I read it but this is the most beautifully formatted document in the history of geoguessr
bro has that Sherlock Holmes drip
Fr tho
I love that geoguessr players will unironically say things like "cow meta"
2:47 let’s go Royan mentioned, love 20 mins from there
"Wow, I'm not gonna learn cow meta" and just moves right on 💀

Yeah, finally on my country, I love playing on it, and I wish you could get this country in the daily challenge again
17:25 your errors are on the mountain ranges you put them in flat areas when they were in Massif Central and Pyrenees
At 21:10 I believe that is the Flanders crest, so yeah guess close to Belgium
8:33 Cow meta is OP

This will be very helpful!
“It might have reunion” the map title is Metropolitan France only. So only European France.

Bro the German border is the huge Rhine valley why would it be hilly lol 13:49
Very close to the border, just west of the valley, there’s the Vosges mountain range
@@chateauthibaultguess he meant general area, because there's like 100km from the border before you hit that kind of mountain steepness like the Vosges.
@@blanco7726 bro I literally live there, the Vosges are 20 km from the border
@@chateauthibault 40km mais t'as raison jai checké sur Google Earth, je surestimais les collines alsaciennes
@@chateauthibault alors que y en a que une en plus😂🤦🏽♂️

Try and differentiate exposed brick from rock siding…
time to learn how to regionguess Poland
nice jacket
pls learn cow meta :P
Looking good today :D
Nice, I'm terrible at france
Amazing video as always bro!
