The choropleth below (created by Baptiste Coulmont) is a sort of prosperity map of France: the blue areas have high levels of personal income (actually, median household income tax paid divided by the number of household members), while the red areas have the lowest:
The map was created with the help of GEOFLA “communes” shapefile (my high-school French begins to fail me here, but I gather a commune is like a statistical district in France), to which M. Coulmont mapped French tax data. He's also created a helpful tutorial pour les francophones to create maps like these.
