There's a little bit of France here in New Zealand. In 1840 some French settlers arrived to try to establish New Zealand as a French possession. What they didn't know was that on Waitangi Day the previous February the British Crown had already signed up the Maoris to the Treaty of Waitangi, so they'd missed the boat!
