The Pays de France (French pronunciation: [pe.i də fʁɑ̃s], literally Land of France), also called the Parisis ([paʁizi]) or Plaine de France ([plɛn də fʁɑ̃s]), is a natural region located in the Île-de-France administrative region to the north of Paris, France. It is essentially a silt plain devoted to cereal crops, of which the southern part is included in the northern suburbs of Paris and greatly urbanised, and also includes Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Administratively, the region corresponds approximately to the east of Val-d'Oise department, with part of Seine-Saint-Denis and the northwestern fringe of Seine-et-Marne.
