In the 19th and 20th centuries, France has produced the three famous series of world geography called la Geographie Universelle. In particular, the last series(1927- 1948), conceived by Vidal de la Blache, contained some volumes which have been regarded as the classics of regional description. From 1990, the fourth series of la Geographie Universelle began and six volumes out of ten have been published till now. This new series has a very marked character, based on one methodological conception called la geographie chor?matique. La geographie chorematique has been one of the most influential streams in French New Geography. At the same time, criticism and objections against this powerful stream have been appearing in recent years. In this paper, the principal characteristics of la geographie chorematique are examined and the main objections against it are mentioned.
