Guadeloupe Country Information
Guadeloupe is a French overseas region that is located in the Caribbean Sea. Like many other Caribbean islands, Guadeloupe has a tropical climate, sandy beaches, beautiful mountains and beautiful coral reefs. But Guadeloupe has even more – the French culture sets the island apart from its neighbors.
There are two main islands: Basse-Terre and Grande – Terre, where you can find the main resorts and restaurants there. Basse-Terre has volcanic mountains while Grande-Terre has flat rolling hills. Expats will find several historical attractions on these two islands. It has become a great place for expats to retire, especially from France and Quebec.
