France is a country located in Western Europe whose capital and largest city is Paris. It is not a major baseball country, though the country has participated in almost every European Championship and has produced several minor leaguers. Some major leaguers have been born in France, but not raised there. Big leaguers were killed here in both World War I and World War II. The major league in France is the Division Elite.
