Terre-de-Haut

Terre-de-Haut combines the close-knit rhythm of an island community with the open horizons of the Caribbean Sea, a contrast that reflects its position in Guadeloupe’s Les Saintes archipelago. Le Bourg gathers around the Baie des Saintes, while steep, dry hills shape an island far smaller and more compact than mainland Guadeloupe. Above the harbour, Fort Napoléon occupies Morne Mire; this 19th-century fort now contains a museum devoted to the Saintes and its military past. Fishing remains part of local life, and bakeries sell tourment d’amour, the small coconut-filled tart closely associated with the islands.
