Encyclopedic overview
Saint-Georges ( French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒɔʁʒ] ; French Guianese Creole: Senjòrj; sometimes unofficially called Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock; Portuguese: São Jorge do Oiapoque) is a commune of French Guiana, an overseas region and department of France located in South America. It lies on the Oyapock River (which forms the border with Brazil), opposite the Brazilian town of Oiapoque. The town contains a town hall, a French Foreign Legion detachment, and some hotels (the main ones being Le Tamarin, Coz Calè and the Chez Modestine). Saint-Georges has been one of the three sub-prefectures of French Guiana and the seat of the Arrondissement of Saint-Georges since October 2022.
