boundary <- getData("GADM", country = "FRA", level = 0) #Downloads France boundaries

tilenames <- tile_name(boundary, name = 'worldclim') #Determines names of the worldclim tiles covering France
srtmtilenames <- tile_name(boundary, name = 'srtm') #Determines names of the srtm tiles covering France

wctiles <- tile_get(tiles = tilenames, name = 'srtm', var = "bio") #downloads WorldClim tiles covering France
srtmtiles <- tile_get(tiles = srtmtilenames, name = 'srtm') #downloads SRTM tiles covering France
