Development History
On the initial release of Euro Truck Simulator 2, only eight cities in France were included in the game. However, over subsequent updates and DLC releases, many more cities would be added to the country.
Following the release of the Scandinavia map expansion, France would become the subject of the next major map expansion: Vive la France!. The expansion upon initial release would include 20 new cities, along with a rework of the existing city of Paris (which would be included in update 1.26). After release, update 1.36 would add the island of Corsica to the Vive la France! map expansion, including six new cities.
