The island’s waterfalls, lakes, hot springs, and mountain trails attract nature lovers. The capital city of Guadeloupe, also named Basse-Terre, is located on the island’s southwest edge. Pointe-a-Pitre is reminiscent of a French Riviera port. Tall, modern buildings provide a backdrop for the city’s tree-shaded historic area centered around the Place de la Victoire, where many quaint wooden houses with open air balconies date back to the island’s colonial days. The downtown open market is animated with the spirited sound of shoppers bargaining with vendors. Piles of papaya, breadfruit, tomatoes, and other produce fill the stalls.
