French Guiana

French Guiana is an overseas collectivity of France located on the northern coast of South America, bordered by Brazil and Suriname. It is best known for hosting the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, which serves as the European Space Agency's primary launch site due to its advantageous equatorial location. The territory is covered by over 90% Amazon rainforest and has a diverse population reflecting Indigenous, European, African, and Asian heritage.
