Guadeloupe Essentials
Guadeloupe’s archipelago is defined by the contrast between the volcanic terrain of Basse-Terre and the coral plains of Grande-Terre. This collection spans the active La Soufrière volcano, the multi-tiered Carbet Falls, and the underwater biodiversity of the Jacques Cousteau Reserve. Historical sites include Fort Louis Delgrès and the Mémorial ACTe, which documents the history of the slave trade. From the northern limestone cliffs of Pointe de la Grande Vigie to the golden sands of Deshaies, these locations represent the natural and cultural heritage of the French Caribbean.
