Administrative divisions of French Polynesia



There are two levels of administrative divisions of French Polynesia, five administrative subdivisions (French: subdivisions administratives) each of which is further divided into a total of 48 communes, plus Clipperton Island which is administratively attached to French Polynesia. The breakdown into administrative subdivisions was as a result of decree #72-408 of May 17, 1972, and the communes were thereafter established as a result of law #71-1028, dated December 24, 1971.
