Guadeloupe
Butterfly-shaped archipelago
Guadeloupe is a French overseas territory in the Caribbean, consisting of two main islands shaped like a butterfly.
It functions as an integral part of France, using the euro and sending representatives to the French parliament.
The islands are a popular destination for French tourists seeking tropical beaches without leaving national territory.
