Overseas departments and regions of France

The overseas departments and regions of France (French: départements et régions d'outre-mer, pronounced [depaʁtəmɑ̃ e ʁeʒjɔ̃ dutʁəmɛʁ]; DROM) 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.
