[R] map of a country and its different geographical levels

[Greg Snow]

The maptools and sp packages have functions to read in and plot shapefiles.  There are many sources of shapefiles on the web that you could download and read into R.  One possibility is: http://downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/france#breadcrumbs

Hope this helps,
