Goyave

Goyave sits on the Petit Cul-de-Sac Marin on Guadeloupe’s Basse-Terre island, France, where the Goyave River meets a sheltered bay. The commune occupies the wetter eastern side of the volcanic island; rainforest-covered slopes rise inland, while mangroves and shallow coastal waters shape the shore. Agriculture remains central to local life, particularly banana growing. La Maison de la Banane in Goyave explores the history of this crop, from cultivation to its place in Guadeloupean culture. Away from the archipelago’s busier resort areas, Goyave reflects Basse-Terre’s transition from coast to tropical interior.
