Départements d’Outre mer (DOM) (Overseas departments), each of them being a département and a région at the same time: 971 Guadeloupe 972 Martinique 973 French Guiana 974 La Réunion

 

The departments are further subdivided into 342 arrondissements.

The overseas departments are former colonies outside France that now enjoy a status similar to European or metropolitan France. They are considered to be a part of France (and the EU) rather than dependent territories, and each of them is a region at the same time.

The overseas territories and countries form part of the French Republic, but do not form part of the Republic’s European territory or the EU fiscal area. They continue to use the French Pacific Franc as their currency, which was unaffected by the French franc’s replacement by the Euro in 2002.

The territorial collectivities have an intermediate status between overseas department and overseas territory.

France also maintains control over a number of other small islands in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, including Bassas da India, Clipperton Island, Europa Island, Glorioso Islands, Juan de Nova Island, Tromelin Island. See Islands controlled by France in the Indian and Pacific oceans.
