(French Overseas Collectivities)

France’s overseas collectivities, French Polynesia, Saint Pierre et Miquelon, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy, and Wallis & Futuna, span the South Pacific, North Atlantic, and Caribbean, offering some of the world’s most pristine and culturally distinctive locations. French Polynesia showcases emerald peaks rising from turquoise lagoons in Tahiti and Bora Bora, while Saint Pierre et Miquelon, off Canada’s coast, evokes the atmosphere of a fog-shrouded North Atlantic outpost. Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy combine French sophistication with Caribbean beaches, and Wallis & Futuna provide volcanic islands rooted in Polynesian traditions. New Caledonia, a sui generis collectivity, contributes further diversity with barrier reefs, Kanak villages, and striking red-earth plateaux.

France’s overseas collectivities are prime locations for castaway romances, survival adventures, environmental documentaries, and cultural narratives. Their landscapes can stand in for South Pacific idylls, uninhabited islands, or exclusive Caribbean retreats, while traditional Polynesian rituals, Creole heritage, and unspoiled wildlife add depth and authenticity. The remoteness of many COM territories also ensures privacy and seclusion, making them especially attractive for high-profile productions.
