Définition

France is made of 101 departments, 96 located on the European continent, and 5 are overseas (Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Reunion Island and Mayotte).

As far as European statistics are concerned, Saint-Martin island is included in the reference economic territory (as a outermost region). This is the case especially for national accounts.

Remarque

Statistics are usually disseminated for France. Yet, if the geographical field is different, the difference is stated (“France including Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthelemy and Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon” for legal population figures).
