Wikijunior:North America/France

When you think of France, you think of a country in Europe, right? Well, several parts of France are located in North America: the Caribbean islands--such as Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin, and Saint Barthélemy, as well as Clipperton Island (west of ), and the islands Saint Pierre and Miquelon near in. All these islands are part of France, just like is part of the.

Guadeloupe and Martinique are in the Caribbean, and so are tropical. They were very important to France for their sugar plantations.
