Map of the
First French Empire in 1812, including the four French departments from Spain which had an incomplete juridical status
This is a list of the 130 departments (French: départements), the conventional name for the administrative subdivisions of the First French Empire at the height of its territorial extent, circa 1811.
Note that the Illyrian Provinces were also part of France, but were not organised into departments, and so are not included in this list. Similarly, four additional French departments were also created in the part of Spain annexed in 1812; their juridical status remained incomplete until Spain was lost by the First French Empire in 1814. Those departments were: Bouches-de-l'Èbre, Montserrat, Sègre and Ter.
The names of departments formed from territories annexed to France after 1791 have been colour-coded as follows:
