Usefull informations Guadeloupe

Your stay in Guadeloupe

Mainland Guadeloupe comprises two islands, Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre. The principal city is Pointe-à-Pitre at the center of the land mass; the islands' capital, also called Basse-Terre, is on the remote southwestern side. Nearly all of the resort hotels and larger marinas are
along the southern shore of Grande-Terre.

Guadeloupe's offshore islands to the south and west make worthwhile side excursions. The most visited, Terre-de-Haut, is a delightful place with a quaint central village and harbor, good beaches and restaurants. The other populated islands - Terre-de-Bas, Marie-Galante and La Désirade - have very little tourism development and offer visitors a glimpse of a rural French West Indies that has changed little over time.
La Guadeloupe totals about 70km of beaches. There are white-sand beaches in the resort towns of Gosier, Sainte-Anne and Saint-François. The country has also many first-rate snorkelling and diving sites.
The airport is about 45 minutes area (40 km/24.9 miles) from Saint-François resort.
