Exploring Guadeloupe French Caribbean Island. This video is shot in Pointe-à-Pitre. We walk from the port area to the middle of the city. Pointe-à-Pitre is Guadeloupe's largest city, which also houses a major port as well as the university. In the marina there is lively tourist activity with focus on sailors. From the harbor you can reach the islands of Marie-Galante, Les Saintes and La Désirade by boat.
The city was destroyed in 1843 by an earthquake and in 1871 by an extensive fire.
Some of the main landmarks in Pointe-à-Pitre are:
Cathedrale Saint Pierre Saint Paul
Fort Fleur d'Épée
Place de la Victoire
Monument du Premier Jour
Notre Dame de Guadaloupe
Eglise de Massabielle
Stade Pierre Antonius
Beauport le Pays de la Canne
Guadeloupe is a French department in the Caribbean consisting of a number of islands with a total area of 1,700 square kilometers. The archipelago has just over 405,800 inhabitants (2014) and is located farthest east in the Little Antilles. The main city is Basse-Terre but the largest city is Pointe-à-Pitre.
The main island actually consists of two islands, Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, which are separated by a 50 m narrow channel, La Rivière Salée. Also included are a number of islands, Marie-Galante, La Désirade and Petit Terre. Basse-Terre is a mountainous island that houses the volcano la Soufrière, lots of rainforest and beaches and the national park Parc national de la Guadeloupe while Grande-Terre is more lowland. The capital is called Basse-Terre, but Pointe-à-Pitre, which is near the strait between the islands is the economic center and the largest city. Pointe-à-Pitre is Guadeloupe International Airport.
Until 2007, the island of Saint-Barthélemy and the French part of the island of Saint Martin also belonged administratively to the department of Guadeloupe before they again became their own French overseas territories.
