Also:  

Saint Martin:  part of the EU, currency is the Euro.
Sint Maarten:  NOT part of the EU, currency is the Netherlands Antillean
               guilder.  (But Sint Maarteners are EU citizens, despite 
               not living in the EU.  This is because the Dutch have
               only one category of citizenship, covering the entire 
               Kingdon of the Netherlands meta-country.)
Anguilla:      in the EU (because the UK is), currency is East Caribbean dollar.
Saba:          NOT part of the EU, currency is the US dollar. 
               (Sabans are EU citizens, despite not living in the EU.)
Saint_Barthélemy:  part of the EU, currency is the Euro.
Antigua and Barbuda:  NOT part of the EU, currency is the East Caribbean dollar.
Guadeloupe:    part of the EU, currency is the Euro.
Nevis:         NOT part of the EU, currency is the East Caribbean dollar.

Even the parts of this trip that are in the EU are outside the Schengen
Area (the portion of the EU plus some neighbouring countries that no
longer have border or passport controls for travel among them).  So,
presumably, French traveling from France to the overseas region of
Guadeloupe need to show passports and clear customs.  Irrespective of
that, we'll need to, anyway.
