      The overseas departments and regions of France are the five departments and regions of the French Republic which are located outside European France (also known as “metropolitan France”). These overseas entities have exactly the same status as European France’s departments and regions.

      For that reason if you say France those areas get automatically coloured in too. They are French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and La Réunion. They are even part of the EU and use euros, the only difference is that they’re not part of the Schengen Area.
