Guadeloupe : Discover
Whether you're a seaside idler, a mountain or forest hiker, a water sports enthusiast, a history and heritage lover or a fan of culinary discoveries, Guadeloupe and its islands have something for everyone!
This richness is due to the diversity of its landscapes. On one side is volcanic Basse-Terre, with its lush vegetation, dizzying waterfalls and relaxing hot springs. On the other, Grande-Terre, with its coral reefs, white sandy beaches worthy of the most beautiful postcards, steep limestone cliffs whose hue changes with the passing hours, and cane fields that give it a bucolic feel. Not forgetting the mangrove swamps of Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, La Désirade and Petite Terre.
The archipelago's richness is also due to its warm, mixed-race population, whose waves of immigration, whether chosen or not, have shaped the archipelago's history, culture and gastronomy.
