Definitely come to the Grande-Anse beach to appreciate the beauty of the black sand. The water is warm, but a little rough. The views are magnificent, and there is lots of place to lay out a blanket and soak up the sun. However, the site is poorly maintained, though perhaps only in the off-season. I found the area to be littered, the washrooms and showers locked, and the parking lot in need of several layers of asphalt.

This is the site of boulders with petroglyphs and a botanic garden. Admission and the guided tour is free. The guide only speaks French but is very kind and tries to make you understand. There are printed displays that further explain the pertroglyphs. About half the tour is of the botanical garden there and the tropical fruits like chocolate and cinnamon and others I had never heard of. There is plenty of parking.

What a wonderful learning experience! The Maison de la Banane has something for everyone! You begin at the welcome centre with a video on the site and everything about banana production - starring the owner of the museum, who also happens to be the woman who most likely greeted you. After a first tasting, you are lead down a path to the old master's house, which has been transformed into a museum, displaying antiques juxtaposed with new information panels about the history and progress of the banana industry on Guadeloupe. Back to the welcome centre for a second tasting, you are then given directions to continue exploring on your own, heading towards the slopes of banana palms, upwards to the home of the owner and magnificent views of Les Saintes. Then you head back down the hill, along excellent pathways that are still being poured, towards a large shelter which may one day house groups of tourists, following the cable lines that carry the bananas up from the valley to the shed where they are washed and packed. Finally, you return to the welcome centre for a few more tastings and candid conversations with the owner.
On the day we visited, I think it safe to say we were the only two people there. We had the place to ourselves, and the owner was more than happy to answer all our questions, regardless of how on topic they were. Upon our departure, she gifted us a selection of the bananas we had tasted.
I feel that the Maison de la Banane is working towards becoming a larger venture, creating more accessible walking paths, building a larger welcome center/ reception hall, cultivating beautiful plants worthy of botanical Gardens. As much as I would like to wish them continued success in the future, I would feel sad to have to share such an intimate learning experience with a busload of tourists.

We used the service to travel from Les Saintes to the airport. The water taxi was on time, Steve was a perfect captain adapting to whether we wanted a thrill ride or simply a boat ride...take the ''thrill''!! The land taxi was waiting for us when we arrived and again, clean, new vehicule and very calm driver. Excellent service...

Un accueil très convivial ; un centre parfaitement entretenu.
Mon compagnon regrettera une ballade trop "pépère" ; pour ma part, balade sympathique dans une végétation luxuriante avec des beaux panoramas.
Des chevaux soignés et au top.
Nous recommandons ce centre.

Thankfully, Laurence at the Trois Rivieres ticket office spoke perfect English. She helped us book tickets to Les Saintes with a side trip on the next day's ferry to Terre de Bas for a day of hiking, then back to Trois Rivieres the next day. She was a gem!
The boats are clean and safe and the staff is friendly very organized. A great ferry trip.

Археологический и ботанический парк, где находятся древние камни с рисунками древних жителей карибского бассейна. Так же в этом парке находится много экземпляров местной флоры
Reviewed By BOrritt240 - Guildford, United Kingdom
There was no entry fee, which got us off to a good start. We also arrived (by chance) just before one of the guided tours, so didn't have to wait long. The tour is fairly short, and the engraved stones not very plentiful. However, the guide was helpfully honest in explaining how little is known about the people who marked the stones. As with most things in the French Antilles there was no sign of any gesture towards non-Francophones. In summary, interesting and quirky; mérite le détour.

J'ai étais surpris que ce monument se situe sur une propriété privée et qu'il n'appartient pas à la commune. Ce cachot date du 18 eme siècle, il fait 4 métres carré, il est petit et le lit est en béton. Si j'ai bien compris l'histoire, il servait à montrer aux noirs que le blanc était supérieur à lui et que s'il ne voulait pas travaillait, il était enfermé dans ce cachot. A priori, chaque maison coloniale possédait un cachot. Ici c'est l'habitation Belmont qui était en fait une sucrerie Avant la révolution, il y avait 214 esclaves! Ce monument est facile à trouver car sur la nationale 1, il suffit de prendre la Départementale 6 en direction du bourg de Trois-Rivières. Il y a un panneau qui indique ce site. Avant de visiter ce site, je conseille de se procurer la brochure de "la route de l'esclavage". A savoir que des informations en français sont disponibles au pied de ce cachot

I'm really glad I found this on TA. Here's what they didn't do: Couldn't advise on accommodation, didn't know about availability, wouldn't phone to inquire, couldn't mark location of accommodation on map, wouldn't let us use their WiFi, generally didn't care if we stayed in their town... so we didn't.
Otherwise fine.
