Gaul was the Roman period name of the area now called France.
The ancient Romans referred to modern day France and Belgium as Gaul. Prior to the Roman conquest of the region, the Romans divided Gaul into five regions: Gallia Belgica (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Northern France), Gallia Celtica (Brittany and Central France), Gallia Cisalpina (Northern Italy), Gallia Narbonensis (Southeastern France), and Gallia Aquitania (Southwestern France).
Gaul was the name that the Romans gave to the area. At the fall of the Roman empire, the Germanic tribe of the Franks expanded west and south-west, first towards the area of Paris, and eventually took over the entire area of modern-day France. The country became known as Francia, the 'land of the Franks'. The oldest known instance of writing of the name is the treaty of 843 (parting of the empire of Charles the Great).
France was known as Gallia and Belgium as Belgica. But Gallia is smaller then France and Belgica is bigger then Belgium. So check a map.
