For those that don't know, French Guiana being an overseas department of France makes it analogous to Alaska or Hawaii, rather than a mere territory. It's considered a fully-fledged part of France, at the same level as all the departments of metropolitan France.

Do they also get to vote for the president?

Yes, as it has the same rights as the other French counties in Europe. They also vote in EU parliament elections
