Pointe-à-Pitre Essentials

Pointe-à-Pitre showcases the complex history of Guadeloupe through its colonial architecture and memorial sites. This selection includes the Mémorial ACTe, a Caribbean center dedicated to the history of the slave trade, and the 19th-century Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Church, notable for its iron-framed structure designed to withstand earthquakes. Explore the city’s commercial heritage at the iron-built Marché Central and the industrial ruins of the Darboussier sugar factory, or visit the birthplace of Nobel Prize-winning poet Saint-John-Perse in a restored colonial mansion.
