          Huh, so it’s one of those relics of colonialism that didn’t eventually end up independent then.

          Also really weird to learn they use the Euro there lol

            France is still a colonial power though they rarely seems to getting as much flak as their island rival. It leads to some fun facts like “EUs largest national park is in the Amazon rainforest” and “France is the country with the most timezones (13)”.
