You forgot Ecuatorial Guinea in the list of countries located in both the northern and the southern hemispheres. Factor in its island called Annobon.

France is in all four hemispheres – it has a number of overseas territories that are integral parts of the country, with equal status to Metropolitan France. Reunion is in the Southern Hemisphere; because it is an integral part of France, it is also part of the EU and the Eurozone.
