	I see you went with the official regional names in French, and strictly so. You might want to consider allowing common English versions of the French to be accepted as correct, e.g. "Normandy" for Haute-Normandie, "Loire Valley" for Pays de la Loire, or "Picardy" for Picardie, and/or lightening up on the French (e.g. allow "Normandie", "Provence", and "Languedoc" to be correct answers even though they're not the precise, official names.)

	You can enter Picardy for Picardie, as well as Upper Normandy for Haute-Normandie. It'd be inappropriate to accept "Normandy", for one or the other or both, when there are two different administrative regions with that in its name - it would be like accepting "Dakota" for both North Dakota and South Dakota in the US States game. Loire Valley isn't the same thing as Pays de la Loire - as residents of Centre will be happy to point out. Similarly, Languedoc is part of both L-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées. In summary, the quiz needs to be this precise because the regions of France are, by and large, recent administrative creations with little regard for France's historic internal borders.

	if anything, i thought this quiz was quite lenient allowing picardy, brittany, corsica, upper normandy etc

	Giving the capital as a clue makes the quiz a bit too easy.

	The modal result is 2-4 correct answers, so I don't agree with that.

	I'd like to actually see the map of France with the names of the provences matching up to it as you type, like with the Countries of Europe quiz.
