It is the longest border France shares with another country, despite not being located in mainland France. The second longest is the one with Spain, at 623 kilometres (387 mi). The Oyapock River defines part of the border, and is spanned by the Oyapock River Bridge, the only bridge crossing the border, which connects the towns of Saint-Georges (French Guiana) and Oiapoque (Brazil).
