Some,but not all,are part of the European Union. "Overseas France" is a collective name;while used in everyday life in France,it is not an administrative designation in its own right. Instead,the five overseas regions have exactly the same administrative status as the metropolitan regions;the five overseas collectivities are semi-autonomous;and New Caledonia is an autonomous territory. Overseas France includes island territories in the Atlantic,Pacific and Indian Oceans,French Guiana on the South American continent,and several peri-Antarctic islands as well as a claim in Antarctica.
