      Guadeloupe has the same status as any other French department, is firmly in the EU & has adopted the Euro.

      Edit: Oh, they already said it
      Almost. Guadeloupe is an outermost region and is outside the Schengen Area and the EU VAT Area.

            Territorial status of EU countries and certain territories

            EU country / Territories related with EU countries | Territory of the EU | Customs rules apply | VAT rules apply | Excise rules apply
            France / Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, Saint-Martin | yes | yes | no | no
            United Kingdom / Channel Islands | yes | yes | no | no
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Freedom of movement applies to Guadeloupe but not Channel Islands. Not same. Different. See now?

                No, he doesn't. Bring back Scooty, at least when he made stuff up some of it was almost plausible...

                  Damn, that EU website must be lying. Better change my views to that of a blinkered person now

                    Not quite. There are some slight differences to your generalising statement...

                    Channel Islanders are British citizens and hence European citizens. As a result, they can travel freely within the EU, and all European citizens can travel to the islands without restrictions. However, the islands do not participate in the freedom of movement of labour, and as a result their citizens are not entitled to work or reside within the EU unless they are directly connected (through birth, or descent from a parent or grandparent) with the United Kingdom. After five years continuous residence in the United Kingdom, islanders are entitled to participate in the freedom of movement of labour or services throughout the EU
                    You need to be more specific otherwise someone will mistake you for someone who likes to use post truth fact distribution

                      Guadeloupe is an outermost region of an EU country. As such, it is part of the EU, but concessions are made to allow them to be outside Schengen and VAT. It remains within the freedom of movement of labour and goods area (and I think freedom of movement of capital and services).

                      The Channel Islands are dependencies of the British Crown. As such, they are outside of the EU and they are outside of the freedom of movement of labour, services and capital areas and VAT area. A concession is made to bring them into the customs union and the freedom of movement of goods area.
