There really aren't any, aside from French Guiana, which is an overseas department of France, and not an independent country. The French never really expanded into South America, although they did colonize areas of Central America - namely, in the Caribbean. The actual country of Guyana was never colonized by the French - it was colonized by the Dutch, and later came under control of the British.
