French term

grands territoires

French to English Tech/Engineering Architecture Patrimoine
...patrimoine du XXe siècle de la région Rhône-Alpes. L’objectif de cet inventaire est multiple. Il s’agit, d’une part, de sélectionner les réalisations les plus marquantes de chaque département et de les classer par ***grands territoires***, dans l’idée de proposer des parcours au public (lors des Journées du Patrimoine par exemple).

Must be easy, but I'm saturated.

Surrounding rural area www.territoires.gouv.fr
If you look at this site it explains how the rural areas surrounding larger cities need to be included in all sorts of policies (schools, technical advance, etc.. :)
Helene Tammik Oct 30, 2014:
or geographical region?
philgoddard Oct 30, 2014:
I think it may be a local government term, but you could just say "area".

major regions

There is reference to "grands territoire logistiques" in
http://www.ceser-iledefrance.fr/cesr_doc/actus/20110601-bure...

and a reference to "les 12 grand territories francais" in
http://www.rouennormandyinvest.com/entreprendre/creer-son-en...

There are many other more general references to "grands territoires". "Major regions" seems to fit most of them.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I wouldn't use the word "region" because it has a specific meaning in France. Here, the region is Rhône-Alpes.
