Guadalupa

Start from the economic capital of the Guadeloupe archipelago, characterized by typical narrow
streets dotted with historical museums, small churches, and neoclassical buildings, as well as
squares adorned with royal palm trees and restaurants where you can taste delicious Creole
cuisine. Not to be missed is definitely a visit to the Darse Market.
You will be enchanted by the atmosphere, with incredible stalls full of exotic fruits and vegetables,
and fresh fish sold directly by fishermen

St. François is a charming village located on the southern coast of Grande-Terre Island. The local
tourist marina offers welcoming docks, nautical services, shops, and small restaurants, as well as
traditional tuculs with palm-thatched roofs where you can enjoy punch and lobster in sauce chien,
an exquisite sauce made with scallions.
Walking along the streets of this Caribbean village, you will discover beautiful wooden houses, a
picturesque fishing harbor, a casino, and a museum of local history housed in a 19th-century
prison. A lively and rich market full of fruits, exotic vegetables, and spices is also a must-see. After
visiting the village, you can relax on Raisins Clairs Beach. This is one of the most famous beaches
in Guadeloupe, with fine sand and a magnificent turquoise lagoon ideal for endless baths. The
coccoloba trees, whose fruits resemble grapes, and the walls with wooden sheds along the beach
guarantee pleasant breaks for a tasty picnic.
For those who want a bit of activity, St. François boasts the only 18-hole golf course in
Guadeloupe, designed by Robert Trent Jones.

Head to Marie-Galante, also known as the "Island of a Hundred Windmills" due to the presence of
over a hundred windmills scattered across the territory, like sentinels of the numerous sugar mills
and rum distilleries.
The atmosphere of the island is anchored in its rural past, with large sugar cane plantations,
farmers wearing wide-brimmed hats, and the traditional kabwé, ox-drawn carts along the gentle
hills surrounded by forests where time seems to stand still.
The North coast is characterized by high cliffs and beautiful almost deserted beaches, some of
which are considered the most beautiful in the entire Guadeloupe archipelago. One of these is
Anse Canot, a crescent-shaped beach just north of the town of Saint-Louis, accessible only by
boat. On one side, the beach is enclosed by an imposing rocky wall plunging into the sea, while on
the other side expands the typical vegetation of the place, which offers shady and cool corners
when the sun starts to get too hot.
In the southeastern part of the island lies the beach of Feuillère, which offers peace and relaxation
under its palms. You can overlook a lagoon of transparent water protected by a coral reef, a
destination for divers and snorkeling enthusiasts.
For dinner, you can book at La Playa, one of the most popular restaurants on the island to taste
seafood, and then enjoy the nightlife where Creole music and dance create a truly contagious mix.
Once on the island, do not hesitate to discover the local cuisine and taste the island's famous
sweets: Caca boeuf or Torments d’amour.

La Dominique is the greenest island in the Caribbean and is nicknamed "The Nature Island"
precisely because of its lush vegetation. You can enjoy the day as you please, exploring the
seabed while snorkeling, relaxing on the beach, or taking a stroll around the island.
Some destinations not to be missed are the Red Rocks and the towering Milton Falls, which are 25
meters high. The natural pool created below the falls is ideal for a refreshing swim.

Pigeon Island, located on the western coast of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, is a small island surrounded by protected, crystal-clear waters, renowned for its exceptional marine biodiversity. As part of the Guadeloupe National Park, it's a paradise for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts, thanks to the Cousteau Reserve, one of the most famous marine areas in the Caribbean. Visitors can marvel at spectacular coral reefs, a variety of tropical fish, and sea turtles. Beyond its underwater beauty, the island offers breathtaking views and pristine nature, making it perfect for a day of exploration.

Les Saintes is a picturesque archipelago composed of nine islets where enchanting bays, lush
vegetation, tropical climate, and ancient traditions blend together. For anchoring, you will have
plenty of choices: the most popular spot is undoubtedly in front of the Pain de Sucre beach, on
Terre-de-Haut Island.
In this area, you can admire a stretch of white sand surrounded by coconut palms and crystal-clear
waters teeming with colorful fish. From here, you can embark on the exploration of the island
nicknamed "Rio in miniature" and famous for its colorful houses, breathtaking views, culinary
specialties based on local fruit, and Fort Napoleon with its museum. Alternatively, you can access
Pompierre Beach overlooking a lagoon of calm, shallow waters with a wonderful turquoise color.
The other inhabited island of Les Saintes is Terre-de-Bas, much more discreet and less crowded.
Here too, you will find dreamy beaches like Grande-Anse, where turtles lay their eggs, and the
curious village of Petite-Anse with its traditions and typical handicrafts, such as the traditional
salako hat made with essence of Indian wood.
You can experience unforgettable sunsets on Marigot Bay, a quiet cove with sandy shores where
you'll see fishermen returning with their catch of the day.

Head towards Île Gosier, literally "Gozzo Island," a protected natural site highly appreciated by
boaters for the beauty of its waters and the surrounding coral reef. It also hosts an important
lighthouse used as a reference for night landing and alignment towards the nearby entrance
beacons to the harbor and port of Pointe-à-Pitre.
Right in front of Île du Gosier lies the city of Gosier, which never fails to amaze with its cheerful
atmosphere and beautiful beaches. The most famous is undoubtedly that of La Datcha, located
near a lovely green park.
We recommend visiting the night market, as it is a characteristic symbol of the place.
