Countries that border France

8 land neighbours: Andorra, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Spain and Switzerland. Each one has a page of its own.

Andorra and Monaco border France but are too small for the Europe map to draw as a tap target, so they are not on the map above — they still deal in the capitals and flags games.

Why this one is hard

8 neighbours to keep in the right order.

2 countries in Europe have more than its 8 land borders; it is the same as Austria and Turkey. Of the 28 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Germany is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Europe map with France, and on the world map with everyone else.
