Terre-de-Haut Island, Guadeloupe
Terre-de-Haut Island, the eastern island of Les Saintes, offers a more European character in the citizens and architecture. The terrain and climate were unsuited to raising sugar, so the settlers were fishermen. The pastel-colored houses and numerous, colorfully painted fishing craft (saintoises), will please the photographer.
Bourg des Saintes
(Near )
Bourg des Saintes is the main village of the island of Terre-de-Haute, with a curved blue bay with overlooking "sugarloaf" volcanic hill and a white sand beach. The houses are European in character, with whitewashed walls, red tile roofs and flower gardens.
