A Territoire d'outre-mer (in English Overseas Territory) or TOM, is an administrative division of France.
The term is currently only applied to the French Southern Territories.
The status of TOM differs from that of DOM (Département d'outre-mer or Overseas Department), but because of some common peculiarities, DOMs, TOMs and other oversea possessions under other statuses are often referred to as DOM/TOM.
