More geography
After the discussion on départements, some people pointed out to me that:
Pâque = Easter
Pâque Juive = Passover ("Jewish Easter", how original)
- The map was a little outdated, as it referred to the original boundaries set in 1790... Here is a more up-to-date map
- T.O.M. (territoires d'outre-mer, oversees territories) are additional administrative divisions beyond départements. DOM-TOM collectively refers to the 4 départements d'outre-mer (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, Réunion) and the territoires d'outre-mer (Nouvelle Calédonie, Polynésie Française, Wallis et Futuna, Terres Australes et Antarctiques Française). Strictly speaking, TOM do not officially exist anymore, having been replaced by a number of other fascinating denominations like DOM-ROM and COM.
