There are a lot. There are dozens inhabited islands just off the Atlantic and Mediterranean French coasts. But the only one that is a French region in itself AND not considered an overseas island is Corsica (in French: la Corse) in the Mediterranean.
Overseas there are also French "départements":
- Guadeloupe (in the Caribbean)
- Martinique (in the Caribbean)
- RĂ©union (in the Indian Ocean)
- Guyane (NOT AN ISLAND, in South America)
Note that the above can be both départements and "régions" whereas in mainland France "régions" are divided into "départements". Overseas départements have exactly the same status as continental ones (Just as Hawaii would for the US).
There are also French overseas collectivities (formerly known as overseas territories until 2003), which have a different administrative status (as Puerto Rico would for the US). For instance St-Pierre et Miquelon (North West Atlantic Ocean) is one of them but there are more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectivit%C3%A9_d%27outre-mer
But I think you must be thinking of Corsica which is the only one not considered overseas since it's just off the coast of the French Riviera. It is one of France's 22 continental regions and it is composed of 2 départements: Haute-Corse (Higher Corsica) and Corse du sud (southern Corsica). |
