* Martinique: A department and region of France in the Lesser Antilles.

* Saint Barthélemy: A territorial collectivity of France in the Lesser Antilles.

* Saint Martin (French part): A territorial collectivity of France in the Lesser Antilles (the other half of the island is Dutch).

* French Overseas Collectivity:

* Saint Pierre and Miquelon: A French overseas collectivity located off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada (not technically in the Caribbean, but often grouped with the Caribbean due to its colonial history and proximity).
