These territories include various islands and regions across the globe, such as Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, and French Polynesia. They have different administrative statuses, ranging from regions to collectivities, and are governed by French law. These territories play a significant role in France's global presence and cultural diversity. They are home to unique ecosystems, languages, and traditions, reflecting a blend of French and local influences. The territories also contribute to France's economy through tourism, agriculture, and fishing.
