Norway is to Kræmerpynten as France is to Lauterbourg

Kræmerpynten is the easternmost point of Norway so the easternmost point of France is Lauterbourg, Bas Rhin. I did a search for Kræmerpynten, found the Extreme points of Norway page > Extreme points of the world > Extreme points of France. (though for some time I confused East with West and tried to find the westernmost point of Brittany) Maycontainpeanuts 23:40, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Lauterbourg, Bas Rhin

Wikipedia search for "Kræmerpynten" -> Extreme points of Norway -> saw that Kræmerpynten is easternmost point of Norway -> Extreme points of France -> saw that Lauterbourg, Bas Rhin is the French equivalent. --David Iberri | Talk 23:24, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

Question 2 Answered

Answer: Norway is to Kræmerpynten as France is to Lauterbourg. I found Kræmerpynten was Norway's easternmost point here, so I figured the answer must be France's easternmost point, which I found here. MattSal 01:52, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

Lauterbourg. They're both the easternmost points of the countries. Found through Google. Stellertony the Bookcrosser 05:04, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

Kræmerpynten is given as the easternmost point of Norway, but it is on an island! Hence I think we should include the overseas territories in the search... My answer is that Norway is to Kræmerpynten as France is to Wé. (Wé seems to be the easternmost village on New Caledonia, which according to Geography of New Caledonia is at 165°30' E.) If you didn't mean the village, then my answer is "... as France is to the easternmost point of New Caledonia". Lupo 09:25, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I was looking at France and comparing it with the map of the location of Bas-Rhin and realised that Bas-Rhin was on mainland France.

I ventured to the island of Corsica off mainland, but still part of France, and wandered around the links and ended up at Haute-Corse, with a map of Corsica provided. From what I could gather, the easternmost point marked out on that map seemed to be Bastia. -- fiveless 14:57, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

That's interesting: you seem to be right; the easternmost point of metropolitan ("European") France is not Lauterbourg, as the page Extreme points of France said; it's the easternmost point of Corsica. However, this is not the point I was looking for: if you include Svalbard, you should include the overseas parts of France as well. According to Extreme points of the European Union, the easternmost point of the EU, and therefore of France proper, is Sainte-Rose, Réunion, which was the answer I was looking for. However, New Caledonia seems to be a correct answer as well. Therefore, I'm awarding the two points to Lupo. Eugene van der Pijll 23:18, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Lauterbourg

I. de Montecristo

I at first figured out that Kræmerpynten is the Eastern-most place in Norway. So I had to find what the eastern-most place of France was. It had to be somewhere in Corsica or by Corsica. So I went to the Corsica page. I didn't see anything so I clicked the link at the bottom. It took me to a map of Corsica. By that map the answer is I. de Montecristo.
