Because Guadeloupe's main industry is sugar and not tourism, people tend to bypass this French beauty. But its precisely this non-tourist quality that appeals to vacationers seeking fun, sun and adventure-all delivered with a French twist.

Many first-time visitors to Guadeloupe are surprised to learn that this intriguing and diverse Caribbean paradise is made up of not one but two main islands Grande-Terre to the east and Basse-Terre to the west as well as several smaller ones. Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre are so close together that is difficult to see their separation, yet their strikingly dissimilar landscapes easily distinguish one from the other. The two Islands are connected by a drawbridge, which passes over the Riviere-Salee a narrow four mile strait.
