Nord-Pas de Calais is one of the 26 regions of France. It consists of the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais, in the north and has a border with Belgium. Until the end of the 20th century both the region and the department were called Nord. The region was once part of the Southern Netherlands, within the Low Countries, and permanently became a part of France in 1713. The historical provinces now included in Nord-Pas de Calais are Artois and Flanders, designations which are still frequently used by the inhabitants.
