US passport holders enter French Guiana visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. French Guiana is an overseas department of France, and US citizens benefit from the same visa-free access that applies to metropolitan France. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure. French Guiana is not part of the Schengen area, so time spent here does not count against your Schengen 90-day limit. At Cayenne-Félix Eboué Airport (CAY), immigration stamps your passport.
French law applies in French Guiana, and the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is not valid here even for EU citizens. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is worth carrying: French Guiana's interior is dense rainforest with limited medical facilities outside Cayenne. The Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, where Arianespace launches rockets, is the main tourist draw and offers free public viewings during launches.
No direct flights connect the US to French Guiana. Route through Paris Orly (about 8 hours 30 minutes to CAY on Air France) or Fort-de-France, Martinique (about 2 hours to CAY on Air France or Air Caraïbes).

French Guiana uses the euro, trading at roughly $1.08 per EUR 1. Card payments work in Cayenne and Kourou. ATMs are available in towns but nonexistent in jungle areas. Prices reflect French standards plus import costs: a restaurant meal runs EUR 15 to EUR 30 ($16 to $32).
