Guadeloupe Islands are a fascinating caribbean archipelago, an oversea part of France located in the Lesser Antilles chain between Montserrat, Antigua and Dominica, with each island offering travelers something different. More than 5 islands compose the Guadeloupe Islands archipelago with two main islands : Basse-Terre Island and Grande-Terre Island look like the wings of a butterfly joined together by a mangrove swamp and 2 bridges.

Adjacent islands are La Desirade with Petite Terre islets, Les Saintes (islets archipelago) and Marie Galante.

Guadeloupe Islands count 1,628 square kilometres land area for a population of about 400,000 mostly African mixed with European, Indians, Lebaneses, Syrians, Chineses and Iñeri Amerindians.
