OVERSEAS TERRITORY (FRANCE)

(Redirected from Territoire d\'outre-mer)

The term 'Overseas territory' (French: ''Territoire d'outre-mer'' or ''TOM''), is an administrative division of France and is currently only applied to the French Southern and Antarctic Lands.
The division differs from that of overseas departments (French: ''Département d'outre-mer'' or ''DOM''), but because of some common peculiarities, DOMs, TOMs and other overseas possessions under other statuses are often referred to collectively as ''DOM/TOM''.
