On the other side of the rock, creating a barrier against the waves of the ocean port and the habitable part of the island. This extraordinary island is only one road crosses. Even if it seems that the tropics attributes are completely absent, we are still on the ground caribou. Eleven kilometers in length and no more than two kilometers wide, the island stretches, forming a projection, aimed deep into the ocean to the east. The name of the island is consonant with the French “desire”.

On the south side of Grande-Terre is a large lighthouse, which overlooks the islands of Petit-Terre. These islands are becoming more and more crowded, and not surprisingly, the standard set of available – turquoise water, coconut palms and coral reefs, freshwater waterfalls Carbet, rustling in the mountains covered with tropical vegetation.
