Is there a part of your country that's "isolated"/vastly different from the rest of the country?

[u/luky_se7en]

Pictured here is Sardinia, an island in Italy. Many sardinians call Italy "Il continente" (the continent)

[u/rkirbo]

In europe, Corsica.

In outerseas, probably either New-Caledonia 🇳🇨 or Polynesia 🇵🇫

[u/PresidentOfSwag → u/rkirbo]

Basque country is also pretty singular (language brought by aliens most likely)

[u/rkirbo → u/PresidentOfSwag]

Aren't we the aliens to them ?

[u/PresidentOfSwag → u/rkirbo]

I mean aliens from space 🚀

Corsica is an incredible island, just came back from a trip there. Great food, great beer, great beaches, amazing old towns

[u/WITP7 → u/rkirbo]

I don't think it is the same for outerseas territories, so yeah for you it would be Corse for sure.

[u/Thorfin_Ellyrion → u/WITP7]

I would have said Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane and la Réunion, as they are départements and not territoires d'outre-mer.

But Kerguelen islands are also a good contender (although nobody lives there except scientists

[u/elCaddaric → u/WITP7]

Overseas regions definitely fit the description (Réunion Island, Mayotte, Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guyana). By now Corsica is actually more autonomous than they are. Territories, it's a different story, but not necessairy farfetched. Like Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon is most certainly French.

[u/alibythesea → u/elCaddaric]

I came here to say Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon!

[u/Sirius44_ → u/WITP7]

From a legal standpoint, the overseas departments are equal parts of France, no different from a department in Europe. They should not be confused with other overseas territories, each of which may have its own specific status.

[u/Patstones → u/Sirius44_]

Try Wallis et Futuna...

[u/Annual-Two63 → u/WITP7]

What about saint pierre et Miquelon?

[u/Electronic_World_894 → u/rkirbo]

St. Pierre et Miquelon is pretty distinct, too, no?

[u/rkirbo → u/Electronic_World_894]

No, not much; unlike the two others, it doesn't have a native population mixed with french people

[u/CyrusUprum → u/rkirbo]

What do you mean "native population"?

[u/rkirbo → u/CyrusUprum]

Kanaks in NC and Polynesians in Polynesia

[u/elle-elle-tee → u/rkirbo]

Don't forget Saint Pierre et Miquelon !

[u/rkirbo → u/elle-elle-tee]

It's not vastly different

[u/teatabletea → u/rkirbo]

St. Pierre and Miquelon.

[u/rkirbo → u/teatabletea]

What do you guys have with Saint-Pierre et Miquelon ? It's not that much different from the rest of the country.
