Wifra,

This mailing list is to discussed about documentation and other community 
related. Not for use of QGIS. There is a QGIS-user mailing list for this 
purpose.

To answer to your question, go to the property of the layer, go to the general 
tab and click on the "Query builder" button and add this:

"region" = 'Savoie' OR "region" = "Vienne" OR "region" = 'Alsace'

You can also use this:

"region" IN ('Savoie', 'Vienne', 'Alsace')

Here:
* region is the attribute name
* Savoie, Vienne, Alsace are different value of region

Y.
PS : for french people: yes these values are not french region :)
