A chaplet of islands, situated between Guadeloupe, FWI and Dominica, EC, floating between heaven and earth ... Les Saintes.
Discoverded by Christophe Colomb in the beginning of November 1493, at that time the islands were nammed Los Santos, in honour of All Saints' Day. Alternately occupied by the English and by the French, it was only at 1816 that les Saintes became definitely french.
These small islands made of rocks and hillocks, with a lot of peacefull and preserved white sand beaches, an apetizer of green wild tropical rainforest. The warm welcome from les Saintois will, whitout any doubt, charm you, and make your stay unforgettable.
Made of two small islands - Terre-de-Haut and Terre-de-Bas - and of some islets, les Saintes will take you by surprise and match more !
The arrival at Terre-de-Haut, either by boat, or by plane, will take your breath away : the roads, classified as one of the most beautifull roads in the world, as everybody will remind you about it, is sumptuous as well apreciated by skippers.
The small village is a true jewel counting a several rainbow colored creole houses around the harbor and shows up an architectural homogeneity rarely seen.
A craggy relief and a pluviometry not so much abundant did not authorize the establishment of agricultural, restricting, consequently, the number of slaves.
Le Saintois is, historically, issued from Poitevins and Bretons. Great fishmans with their boat "La Saintoise", their catch will regale you !
About Terre-de-Bas, less known and less travelled than its neighbour, it will propose you hiking (La Trace du Dessus de l'Etang - 45 minutes - and La Trace des Falaises - 3 hours) in a green vegetation, and a magnific beach, Grand-Anse, if we want to cite just some of her trumps !
And, in order to enjoy this charming frame, and, not forget, two very important adresses: Le Paradis Saintois and Lô Bleu.
The warmly welcome of Claire-Lyse and Jean-Philippe will make your stay unforgettable ...
You will be welcomed by Maxime and his wife, in an elegant and casual style.
