Yes, that's true everything south of the Alps (46-47N) is southern Europe without doubt: all of Italy and all the the part of France south of Poitiers.
Everything north of the English channel, Belgium, etc. Is in northern Europe. Between those both lines there can be an "centralish" area wich would include Places like Paris, Munich, Vienna, etc.

Well the city of Poitiers is located already in southern France. The French User is correct, when he meant that areas of France south of Poitiers, in that he most likely means areas of France which are in the same latitude as parts of northermost Italy.
In the map below, areas colored in blue correspond to North France (France - Nord), while the rest is South France (France - Sud).

Hello saxonwold - thank you but you know I think I know where Poitiers is, I live nearly two hours away from it.
Dubious countries are France, Slovenia, Romania (Southern or Central?) and probably Belarus (Central or Northern?)
So you consider Sochi northern Europe? Or are you one of those people who think Russians are Asians? Because on your map all of russia was placed in northern Europe

Poitiers on the line that divide Italy to central Europe, it is at the same latitude as Bolzano. If Bolzano is the transition between central Europe and southern Europe, then so is Poitiers.
poitiers is also on the dividing line of the northern half of France (centralish position) and the southern half of France, which is lined with Italy.
Poitiers is also to gate of the greater south-west of France (the historical region of Aquitaine went even a bit further north, to the Loire Valley). South of poitiers you are in the roman tiles areas, tipically southern European. The same goes from starting from Macon.
