French Caribbean Islands

The Flair of France in the Caribbean

In the French Caribbean Islands, France left its identity. The Islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe, St Martin, St Barthelemy, Marie Galante and Iles des Saintes are vivid proof. These islands are Official French Departments. Here you’ll experience nature at its peak, as well as exotic beaches.

French Flag


French Flag Description:

Three equal vertical bands of blue (hoist side), white, and red; known as the "Le drapeau tricolore" (French Tricolor), the origin of the flag dates to 1790 and the French Revolution; the design and/or colors are similar to a number of other flags, including those of Belgium, Chad, Ireland, Cote d'Ivoire, Luxembourg, and Netherlands; the official flag for all French dependent areas.

• Marie Galante

South of Guadeloupe, are eight miniscule islands of which only two are inhabited. One of them is picturesque Terre-de-Haut, Idyllic isle for doing next to nothing. Isn’t that what vacations are for?

• Les Saintes

Also known as Iles des Saintes, are tiny pristine islets only 15 minutes by plane from Guadeloupe’s capital Pointe-a-Pitre but it seems like another country compared with the busy capital.

About the French Caribbean I can write without end. I’ll tell you more in the following pages.
