This quiz asks where the famous landmarks of France are. The map shows France with 15 empty rings. The tray holds 15 landmarks. You drag each landmark onto the ring at its real place.
Each token shows a photo of the landmark and its name.
How to play
Drag a landmark from the tray and drop it on a ring on the map.
Each landmark is its own target, so a landmark scores only on its own ring.
Nothing is graded while you place. You can move a landmark again as often as you want.
Press Confirm to score all 15 at once.
Tap a token to see its photo larger.
The timer counts up from zero. Give Up scores what you placed and shows where every landmark belongs.
What counts in this quiz
The set has buildings and natural landmarks. Mont Blanc, the Verdon Gorge, the Dune du Pilat and the Étretat cliffs are the natural ones.
Every ring sits at the real coordinates of the landmark. The end screen shows the town and the département under each ring.

What's not included, and why
The Eiffel Tower is not in the quiz. It is already in the Place 15 Famous Landmarks quiz, and no landmark repeats between the two.
Château de Chenonceau and Rocamadour are not in the quiz. Each sits less than 50 km from another landmark in the set, and two rings that close cannot be told apart on a phone.
The year a landmark was built does not score. Only the place on the map counts.
Good to know
Mont-Saint-Michel becomes an island at the highest tides. The tide there rises up to 14 metres.
The Pont du Gard carried water to Nîmes along a 50 km route that drops only 12 metres from start to end.
The Millau Viaduct is the tallest bridge in the world. Its highest mast stands 336 metres above the ground.
The Dune du Pilat is the tallest sand dune in Europe. It is about 100 metres high and moves inland a few metres every year.
The Lascaux paintings are about 17,000 years old. The original cave closed in 1963, and visitors see an exact copy.
