Nah that's how it's spelled in French.
The French part in that sentence should be the name of the region (eg Doré(e) ), not "région", and if you wanted to use the French spelling of "région", you'd have to say "région Dore".
Using the French spelling of région but the wrong word order doesn't make sense.
True, but ‘Doré’ means golden, and would make for a better joke.
