2002-01-01 I didn't forget. I have an Almanac that lists all the French Overseas Departments, Territories and Territorial Collectives, of which French Guiana (including Inini), Guadeloupe Martinique, R�union, French Polynesia, New Caledonia & Dependencies, Southern & Antarctic lands, Wallis & Futuna Islands, St. Pierre & Miquelon, Mayotte are a part.
I didn't mention Guadeloupe before because it is a small Caribbean island. I thought that Euro territory on the South American main land was more significant.
