View Full Version : French Guiana Lostboy July 19th, 2004, 12:01 AM Are all the area size for France inclusive of French Guiana as well? Just curious. Thank in Advance GM July 19th, 2004, 12:21 AM Are all the area size for France inclusive of French Guiana as well? Just curious. No. :) Area of "France métroplitaine" (=continental France + Corsica, excluding all DOM-TOM*) : about 551 000 km². Area of French Guyana : 86 504 km². *DOM-TOM : French Guyana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion, St-Pierre et Miquelon, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, New Caledonia, ... FLo14 July 19th, 2004, 03:06 AM Mayotte :p schmidt July 19th, 2004, 05:42 AM It would be nice if Brazil also had some overseas territories like France. Well, I actually think we could annex French Guyana :D Imagine; the USA would be at our side, they would fight against the French in South America then England, which is always at the US side would bomb continental France and Germany would enter the war at France's side. :jk: GM July 19th, 2004, 01:03 PM Well, I actually think we could annex French Guyana :D Imagine; the USA would be at our side, they would fight against the French in South America then England, which is always at the US side would bomb continental France and Germany would enter the war at France's side. :jk: Yes, but with our nuclear bombs, we could nuke Blumeneau, SC, Brazil ! :D :D :D :jk: jch July 19th, 2004, 02:03 PM Dom-Tom = 120 000 Km². Population : 1,5 millions. France + Dom-Tom = 549 000 + 120 000 = 669 000 Km². So no, Texas isn't bigger than France :D Oh, of course I forget Québec and Algeria 669 000 + 1 549 000 + 2 380 000 = 4 598 000 Km² ... LOL :lol: :D :D :nuts: GM July 19th, 2004, 02:22 PM Dom-Tom = 120 000 Km². Population : 1,5 millions. A mon avis, il ya plus de 1.5 millions d'habitants dans les DOM-TOM. Voilà les chiffres que j'ai, de mémoire (donc plus ou moins précis) : Les DOM : La Réunion : environ 700 000 habitants. Guadeloupe : environ 450 000 habitants. Martinique : environ 380 000 habitants. Guyane : environ 200 000 habitants. Les TOM (et autres statuts) : Nouvelle-Calédonie : environ 200 000 habitants. Polynésie Française : environ 220 000 habitants. Mayotte : environ 120 000 habitants. Wallis et Futuna : quelque chose comme 15 000 habitants. St-Pierre et Miquelon : environ 6 500 habitants. Sans oublier les terres australes françaises (Terre Adélie, les Kerguelen et autres territoires trop froids pour être occupés de façon permanente) : environ 200 habitants dans des bases scientifiques ou des stations météo. jch July 19th, 2004, 02:34 PM Source (http://perso.club-internet.fr/xlab/dom-.html) ( 1999 ) Mon ancien livre d'Histoire-géo datant de 2000 parle aussi de 1,5 millions d'habitants. J'ai du mal à croire que certains Dom-Tom ont augmentés leurs populations de 30 à 100% en 4 ans ! Lostboy July 19th, 2004, 02:49 PM France + Dom-Tom = 549 000 + 120 000 = 669 000 Km². So no, Texas isn't bigger than France LOL Your right! Thats worth remembering now. Go tease Texans about this. Oh, of course I forget Québec and Algeria 669 000 + 1 549 000 + 2 380 000 = 4 598 000 Km² ... LOL Uh thats taking it a little far...

J'ai du mal à croire que certains Dom-Tom ont augmentés leurs populations de 30 à 100% en 4 ans ! Les chiffres de la source que tu as postée ne datent apparemment pas du dernier recensement de 1999. Ce sont plutôt des chiffres qui doivent dater des recensements de 1990, voire de 1982. Jette un coup d'oeil sur les chiffres officiels du dernier recensement (celui de 1999). Malheureusement je n'ai pas de source, là tout de suite, à te donner, mais tu peux les consulter pour chaque DOM-TOM dans n'importe quel dictionnaire ou Quid récent. De plus il faut savoir que des DOM-TOM comme Mayotte, la Réunion et la Guyane ont justement des taux de croissance démographique extrêment forts (parmi les plus forts du monde) grâce à un accroissement naturel trés important et à un solde migratoire trés positif (surtout dans le cas de Mayotte qui a quasiment doublé sa population entre les deux derniers recensements, 1990 et 1999). En tout cas tes chiffres datent un peu. Je vais essayer de poster les chiffres officiels du recensement de 1999, je dois les avoir quelque part. Cyril July 19th, 2004, 03:42 PM La population de la Guyane augmente très rapidement en effet ! Lostboy July 19th, 2004, 04:05 PM Are you saying anything of signifigance to this thread, because I have only a very limited reading ability of French. schmidt July 19th, 2004, 05:54 PM French is pretty easy to understand, even for a non speaker like me :D In the 19th century Brazil tried to invade French Guyana, but there wasn't ANYBODY there :rofl: Lostboy July 19th, 2004, 06:39 PM Sounds about right, its got a tiny population. nazrey July 19th, 2004, 06:48 PM Did you know ? ....Our THAICOM satellite(Thailand) was launch in French Guyana!!!!? http://www.thaicom.net/ jch July 19th, 2004, 08:09 PM French is pretty easy to understand, even for a non speaker like me :D In the 19th century Brazil tried to invade French Guyana, but there wasn't ANYBODY there :rofl: :lol: . I guess the french didn't invade Brazil just because they aren't enough to attack the amazon indians :D @ Lostboy We talked about the population in Dom-Tom :) FLo14 July 19th, 2004, 08:36 PM Source (http://perso.club-internet.fr/xlab/dom-.html) ( 1999 ) Mon ancien livre d'Histoire-géo datant de 2000 parle aussi de 1,5 millions d'habitants.

C'est pourtant le cas de Mayotte, qui a un taux de démographie extrêment élevé :) schmidt July 19th, 2004, 11:01 PM :lol: . I guess the french didn't invade Brazil just because there aren't enough to attack the amazon indians :D @ Lostboy We talked about the population in Dom-Tom :) Actually France invaded Brazil twice. Once in Rio de Janeiro, but the attempt was frustrated by the Portuguese government. Then some years ago they invaded Maranhao state and nowadays its capital, Sao Luis (Saint Louis) is named after Louis (dunno which one), King of France! ;) jch July 20th, 2004, 10:06 AM C'est pourtant le cas de Mayotte, qui a un taux de démographie extrêment élevé :) Oui mes chiffres doivent être dépassés :) FLo14 July 20th, 2004, 04:06 PM Oui mes chiffres doivent être dépassés :) Faut dire que ça évolue quand même super rapidement! Julien July 21st, 2004, 08:50 AM French Guyana is the location of the French launchpad for the Ariane rocket and there is a foreign Legion camp there as well specializing in jungle warfare.

So no, Texas isn't bigger than France :D now you just wait a cotten pickin' minute... http://easycarts.net/ecarts/TShirtsNTexas/images/767France.jpg ;) brunob July 25th, 2004, 06:59 PM All this talk got me a tad curious about guyana. I've looked it up on the web and couldn't find any significant pictures of the main city after a half an hour search - it is poorly documented, and even governmental institutions that seem to cater for tourist info don't show you anything that worthy of a visit. Are there any websites that would enlighten more accurately my vision of Guyana, and especially Cayenne ? GM July 25th, 2004, 07:26 PM Some pictures of Cayenne found on the Web (thanks google !) : http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/sharemed/targets/images/pho/t038/T038287A.jpg http://www.coedade.org/rubriques/evenements/images/guyane_oct_2003/cayenne_s.jpg http://www.coedade.org/rubriques/evenements/images/guyane_oct_2003/cayenne_prefecture_s.jpg http://www.asa.firstream.net/guyane/photos/0025.jpg http://jeanclaudegillet.free.fr/images/Guyane-Cayenne/cayenne_vue_tigre1.jpg http://jeanclaudegillet.free.fr/images/Guyane-Cayenne/cayenne_port_crique2.jpg http://jeanclaudegillet.free.fr/images/Guyane-Cayenne/cayenne_vue_ceperou.jpg http://jeanclaudegillet.free.fr/images/Guyane-Cayenne/cayenne_la_crique1.jpg http://jeanclaudegillet.free.fr/images/Guyane-Cayenne/cayenne_hotel_de_ville.jpg http://jeanclaudegillet.free.fr/images/Guyane-Cayenne/cayenne_vue_tigre2.jpg This last picture is Kourou, second city in French Guyana : http://jeanclaudegillet.free.fr/images/Guyane-Cayenne/kourou20.jpg brunob July 25th, 2004, 07:30 PM thanks man but apart from shabby sheds, areal views and greenery, what i want to see are street level perspectives. Where are those???? schmidt August 13th, 2004, 06:08 PM I think France should invest more in French Guyana, they could make it become a tropical paradise with all the money they have. And also, they could improve these people's lives giving them more infrastructure and investments. I don't know a single person who has been or thought of travelling to the Guyanas. |
