The coast from Kourou to St Laurent du Maroni follows the sea-coast past the town of Iracoubo with its church decorated by a prisoner and to St Laurent and its historic Camp de la Transportation.
Dividing Suriname from French Guiana is the Maroni or Marowijne River with many Maroon and Amerindian settlements along its bank.
Isolated in the very heart of the Amazonian forest and reachable only by plane is Saul, a small mining town retaining evidence of the gold fever which happened in the area in the late 19th and early 20th C.
In the undisturbed rainforests that surround the town are a network of hiking trails and study sites have been established by the New York Botanical Garden and colleagues from ORSTOM, the French Overseas Research Institute.
