Subject: French political geography

I'm writing an article for my website about the Caribbean island of Saint-Barthélemy. However, I'm a little confused about the way the French govern such places.

I understand that Saint-Barthélemy is an overseas collectivity of France (Collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy). What I don't quite understand is the nature of a collectivités d'outre-mer. Are they "lower" than a département d’outre-mer in rank? I think so? Anyway, what I'm wondering is this: does Saint-Barthélemy form part of the overseas department of Guadeloupe or does it have nothing to with Guadeloupe at all other than being close to one another?

The reason I ask is that I have put the Saint-Barthélemy article as a sub-page in the Gudeloupe section of my site. I'm thinking that maybe it should have it's own section? Or does it make sense to put it in the Guadeloupe & Dependencies section?

Sorry if that was confusing.

Thanks for any help.

Nevermind, figured it out.

Found out about the 2003 vote, that separated them from Guadeloupe.

can close, delete or whatever.
