"Metropolitan France" consists of the French lands in Europe.
Just as the US has states lying outside the contiguous group of 48, France has Départements outside Europe.
These are the Départements d'Outre-Mer. There are also Territioires d'Outre-mer, in the same way as the US has American Samoa or the US Virgin Islands.
