There are five French oversea departments: la Guyane(French Guiana) located north of Brazil; La Guadeloupe and La Martinique, two large islands in the Carribbean; La Réunion and Mayotte, two large islands in the Indian ocean. France has other oversea possessions, but they do not have departemental status.
