The term Overseas territory (French: Territoire d'outre-mer or TOM), is an administrative division of France and is currently only applied to the French Southern and Antarctic Lands.
The division differs from that of overseas departments (French: Département d'outre-mer or DOM), but because of some common peculiarities, DOMs, TOMs and other overseas possessions under other statuses are often referred to collectively as DOM/TOM.
Former overseas territories
- French India, from 1946 to 1954, now the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry
