C'est un village en France

C'est un petit village de France. Can someone please tell me why "de" is needed in the 2nd sentence (instead of en)?

Edit: I have since found out that I pretty much answered my own question. 

Bonjour,

Is this sentence correct: je ne cours pas du tout pour faire du sport? When to add the pour+infinitif? Example, when you add pour in the example above: Pauline ne veut pas du tout pour dormir -> will mean the same thing as without pour, won't it?

Appreciate all the help! 

Merci :)

Elsewhere on the site, there is an example sentence: Ils sucent encore leur pouce. They're still sucking their thumbs.  Why doesn't leur pouce become le/la/les pouce(s)?

Your lesson says negative sentences using depuis use passé composé yet when I do that  your corrections use the present

Instead of "on doit se faire plasir" could one say "on doit se soigner"?

Instead of "dans la rue" could one say "le long de la rue"?

Instead of "nous irons voir la fanfare en famille" could one say "nous irons en famille voir la fanfare" (I can find several instances of "irons en famille voir" in a Google search).?

Is prendre l'air an idiomatic expression?  What does it mean, please?  (e.g. to put on airs, to act in a certain way, etc.??)

I used "la" rather than "y," but that was considered wrong.  How do I know when to use which?
