'''Régina''' is a [[Communes of France|commune]] of [[French Guiana]], an [[overseas region|overseas ''région'']] and [[Overseas department|''département'']] of [[France]] located in [[South America]]. With a land area of 12,130 km² (4,683 square miles), it is the second-largest commune of France.
Régina lies on the [[Approuague River]]. In former times it was a [[gold]] mining centre. The Les Nourages Nature Reserve is located near the town.
Following the construction of a bridge over the Approuague River in [[2003]], an [[Pavement (material)#Asphalt paving|asphalted]] road from Régina to [[Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock]] (a town by the Brazilian border) was opened in [[2004]], completing the road from [[Cayenne]] (the ''[[Prefectures in France|préfecture]]'' and largest city of French Guiana) to the Brazilian border. It is now possible to drive on a fully paved road from [[Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni]] on the [[Suriname]]se border to Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock on the Brazilian border.
