Discover

The Discover section gathers the listings our directory has published about Guadeloupe, a French Caribbean archipelago made up of Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre and their dependencies. The 12 published listings cover subjects that help visitors understand the place rather than simply pass through it: heritage sites, natural areas, local crafts and the everyday culture of the islands.

Guadeloupe pairs volcanic terrain with limestone plains, rainforest with dry coastal scrub, and creole towns with fishing harbours. This section points you toward the places and themes that show that variety, from the slopes of the Soufrière massif to the shores of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. Each listing is written to be read before you set out, so you can decide what fits your stay and how much time to give it.

Use these pages as a starting point for planning. They describe what each place or theme involves and how it connects to the rest of the archipelago, without promising anything beyond what the listings themselves contain.
