Metropolitan France is France in Europe, including the islands of the Atlantic and those in the Mediterranean. Continental France (that is not a legal definition, but only a way of speaking) is Metropolitan France, minus the parts which are not located on the (European) continent. The large island of Corsica in the Mediterranean is included in Metropolitan France, but left out of Continental France. The French will most often use "Metropolitan France" versus "oversea France" (the French dependencies in the Indian ocean, in the Caribbean, in south America), but will not use the notion of "Continental France"
