Exploring Grande-Terre

On Grande-Terre the flat landscape of sugar-cane fields is dotted here and there with the massive stone silhouette of a sugar mill, the dark green foliage of a mango tree, or the scarlet splash of a flame tree. On leaving Pointe-à-Pitre on the N4, the south coast road, you come to Guadeloupe’s main resort area, starting with one of the biggest marinas in the Caribbean at Bas du Fort, about 2 miles (3km) from the center. On the hilltop above, looking across to Marie-Galante and the mountains of Basse-Terre, is the coral-built, 18th-century Fort Fleur-d’Epée 2 (daily; free) which holds art exhibitions and has lovely gardens.
