Sources, method and limits

Source: INSEE, individual birth records, whole of France, release of September 3, 2026, open licence of the publisher. The same release carries January to July 2026 as provisional counts; this page ranks the complete year 2025. Whole-of-France counts and the metropolitan series behind the France ranking are separate series. 643,905 births over 365 days; the weekday of each day is taken from the calendar date. One year, one country, one series.

Every figure above comes from the administrative records named here, at the granularity those records publish: a day, a month or a year. Coverage and definitions differ between countries and eras, so two sources are combined only where their documentation states the windows are separate, and the page where that happens says so.

Full method, leap-day treatment and definitions.
