Without bothering to look it up, I assume there’s a French colony in South America

The old name of Suriname was Dutch Guyana, Guyanas is the name of the region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guianas

They just used the general name when British Guyana became independent.

France shares a 730-kilometer (454-mile) border with Brazil through French Guiana, an overseas region of France in South America. This is longer than France’s borders with any of its European neighbors, including Spain (623 km) and Belgium (620 km).
