It is an Overseas Territory, IIRC. I anachronistically used the term
colony in my previous post.

Mais non, it is a collectivité d'outre-mer, which seems to translate
as Territorial Collectivity, like St Barts and French Polynesia. It's
self-governing and sends members to the Senate and Assembly, but isn't
big enough to be a Region or Department like Martinique.

The only remaining territories are the islands in the southern ocean
with no permanent population.
