Can you believe that French Guyana is the only country in South America without independence! it is a territory of France, so their currency, or money, is the French Euro. In the 1880s and early 1900s French Guyana was used as a penal colony for prisoners from France. Papillon was a famous prisoner that escaped even though two men claim to be him. Today, French Guyana is used as a launch site for space programs. Many different types of people live there! Africans married French to create "creoles," like in New Orleans. That's French Guyana.
