	French overseas departments and territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French Overseas Departments and Territories (often abbreviated DOM-TOM for départements d'outre-mer, territoires d'outre-mer) consist broadly of French-administered territories outside of Europe.
		These territories have varying legal status and different levels of autonomy, although all have representation in the Parliament of France, and the right to vote in elections to the European Parliament.
		Each inhabited French territory, metropolitan or overseas, is represented in both the French National Assembly and the French Senate.
