Description: Fort-de-France , Martinique - FRENCH OVERSEAS DEPARTMENT - France: Fort-de-France is the capital of France's Caribbean overseas department of Martinique. It is also one of the major cities in the Caribbean. Exports include sugar, rum, tinned fruit, and cacao. Fort-de-France lies on Martinique's west coast at the northern entrance to the large Fort-de-France Bay, at the mouth of the Madame River. The city occupies a narrow plain between the hills and the sea but is accessible by road from all parts of the island. An overseas department (French: département d’outre-mer or DOM) is a department of France that is outside metropolitan France. They have the same political status as metropolitan departments. As integral parts of France and the European Union, overseas departments are represented in the National Assembly, Senate, and Economic and Social Council, vote to elect European Parliament (MEP), and also use the Euro as their currency. Each overseas department is also an overseas region. As of March 2011, the overseas departments of France are the following: 1) French Guiana in South America, 2) Guadeloupe in North America (the Caribbean), 3) Martinique in North America (the Caribbean), 4) Réunion in Africa (the Indian Ocean), and 5) Mayotte in Africa (the Indian Ocean). This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is of a statute of the Empress Josephine encircled by high palms. Collect. A. Benoit-Jeannette. No. 531. The card is in good condition.
