The Ultimate Travel Guide to the Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
Share this Post:
If Guadeloupe itself is not enough of a tropical island paradise for you, I suggest you get yourself to the Îles des Saintes. This small archipelago off Basse-Terre’s southern coast is basically Guadeloupe in miniature and offers some incredibly beautiful beaches, hilly interiors to be explored during fairly easy hikes as well as a cute capital village with a welcoming vibe.
Thus, I found the Îles des Saintes to be perfect for a few days of relaxation and laid-back exploration. You can find everything you need to know about visiting these enchanted isles in this guide.

What to see and do on the Îles des Saintes
There are two main islands: the more developed Terre-de-Haut in the east and the less-visited Terre-de-Bas in the west of the Archipelago. Both of them can be reached by ferry from Guadeloupe’s main island, although connections to Terre-de-Haut are far more frequent. There’s also a boat service connecting the two islands. The tiny Ilet à Cabrit lies in the bay north of Terre-de-Haut and requires private transport or a hired boat to reach.
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08805-min-1024x768.jpg)
In the two days I had on the islands, I was only able to explore Terre-de-Haut, the main island of the archipelago, which is the focus of this post. Originally, I was planning on also exploring Terre-de-Bas, the other big island in the group, but the couple running my guesthouse advised me against it, as they thought it would be too much for two days.
They were absolutely right – I needed both days to explore everything on Terre-de-Haut. Therefore, I’d recommend to only visit Terre-de-Bas or Ilet à Cabrit only if you have three days or more on Les Saintes, so you can properly enjoy your time here without rushing too much.
Le Bourg, the small main village
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08642-min-1024x768.jpg)
The cute island capital Le Bourg will be your entry point to Terre-de-Haut, as it is where the ferries from Trois-Rivières or Pointe-à-Pitre land. It’s a pleasant village full of tiny alleyways and cute houses with pretty gardens. The quarter Le Mouillage near the harbour has the highest concentration of historical architecture. Check out the quaint Town Hall (Mairie) at Place Hazier-du-Bousson , which is picturesquely dotted by Flamboyant trees.
The small Church of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption, slightly north of the square, is also worth a peek, especially for its unusual statue of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus framed by the hull of an old fishing boat. If you follow the coast west to the end of the village, you’ll come across the Batterie de la Tête Rouge , the remains of a 19 th -century fortification. Just walk into the direction of the red-and white painted radio tower to find it.
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08853-min-1024x768.jpg)
If you turn south east at the Place Hazier-du-Bousson and follow the road to the southern coast, you’ll come across a set of stairs winding up to La Calvaire , a small viewpoint with a crucifix, that offers nice views of the village and bay and is a great place to watch the sunset. The small blue altar with a statue of the Virgin Mary is the Chapelle des Marins , a chapel dedicated to sailors lost at sea.
It you return to the main road and continue further south-east, you’ll come across Cimetière Marin , the sailors cemetery, which is peacefully located amid palm-trees. A bit further on lies the island’s tiny airstrip, which is located close to the wild Grande-Anse Beach , which is a cool place to relax for a bit but not for a swim due to heavy undertows.
Fort Napoléon des Saintes
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC09026-min-1024x768.jpg)
The historic Fort Napoléon wasn’t built by orders of the famous Corse with a height-induced inferiority complex, but by his descendant Napoleon III., and got its current form in the mid-19 th century. It contains both exhibitions explaining the construction and usage of the fort itself as well as a small museum detailing the history of the island (Spoiler Alert: lot’s of fishing going on).
The garden contains some giant Cacti and is a nice place for a stroll (or for a break if you hiked up to the fort in the noon-sun). It’s located on the hill at the northern end of the big bay near Le Bourg. The entrance fee is 5€.
Plage de la Pompierre
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08730-min-1024x768.jpg)
For me, this long stretch of white sand dotted by countless coconut palms is the most beautiful beach on Terre-de-Haut and also the prettiest that I’ve come across on Guadeloupe in general. I suggest you come early or late to enjoy it without the crowds (I was here at around 5PM and it was alright).
Apart from lazing at the beach, you can also hike into the hills on both ends of the bay to get some nice views of the beach from above. The best views can be head from Morne Morel , the hill to the north-west, where you can also find the ruins of Batterie Caroline, another small battery.
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08769-1024x225.jpg)
If you’re looking for something more adventurous, it’s actually possible to walk to Roches Percées , the small islet you can see across the bay. You’ll have to carry your backpack or any other stuff that you’re lugging around over your head and finding the part of the water that is shallow enough is a bit trial-and-error but it’s fun nonetheless and once you’re over there, you’re very likely to have the islet all to yourself.
Hiking Le Chameau
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08934-min-1024x768.jpg)
The highest hill on Terre-de-Haut is Le Chameau, in the western part of the island. A walking path traverses it and leads to the ruin of a small watch-tower at its top. I’d recommend going up the eastern slope, and descending down the western slope, where you can continue straight to Plage Figuier for a well-deserved swim. That way, you’ll get the best views east during the first part of the hike up (read: not a lot of trees or shade, so start early and bring sun-screen).
Both the western slope and the top of the hill are wooded, so you won’t have much of a view from there. The inside of the tower apparently used to have a ladder to the upper floor, but nowadays some serious climbing skills would be required to get up there and have a look over the tree-tops. Hiking up and down Le Chameau takes about two hours.
Plage de Pain de Sucre and Plage Figuier
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08975-min-1024x768.jpg)
Plage de Pain de Sucre is a small beach is located on the northern coast of Terre-de-Haut a kilometre or so west of Le Bourg (past the ruins of Batty Caroline). It’s quite popular and therefore bound the be full of people, but the impressive rock formation Pain de Sucre on the peninsula north of the bay is worth checking out, even if the comparison to its namesake in Rio might be a bit of a stretch.
If you prefer your beaches a little less crowded, you could check out Plage Figuier, a bit further west on the southern coast of the island. It might not be quite as pretty as its neighbour but it’s certainly more laid-back.

Practicalities
How to get to the îles des saintes.
There are two options to reach the Îles des Saintes by boat. The shorter, cheaper and more frequent connection starts from the village of Trois-Rivières on the southern coast of Basse-Terre, the western half of the island, which you can reach from Pointe-à-Pitre’s Bergevin Bus Station.
The ferry return trip from Trois-Rivières to Bourg on Terre-de-Haut costs 25€ and takes about half an hour. There’s one departure in the morning and another in the afternoon to as well as from the island. You can check the current schedule here . As the boat is rather small, the trip can get a bit rough, so if you’re prone to sea sickness, take some medication in advance.
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08870-min-1024x768.jpg)
On Wednesday and Friday, the company L’express des Îles has a service from Pointe-à-Pitre to Terre-de-Haut at 8am, with the return ferry leaving at 5.30PM. Check the current schedule here , to make sure The trip takes about an hour and costs 44€ return.
If you’re in a serious hurry (or seriously prone to sea-sickness), Air Caraibes flies down to Terre-de-Haut from Pointe-à-Pitre or Basse-Terre on weekends in about 20 minutes. They can be called at +590 851501 to inquire about the schedule and make reservations.
How to get around on the Îles des Saintes
Honestly, Terre-de-Haut is small enough to be explored on foot, which is exactly what I did. There are also a few places in Le Bourg renting bicycles and scooters, but in my opinion, the hilly interior makes walking by far the best option.
Where to stay on the Îles des Saintes
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC09066-min-1024x768.jpg)
I stayed in the small Guesthouse Chez Brigitte et Pierrot in Le Bourg, close to the city hall, where you can get rooms with shared bathroom for about 32€. It’s basic but clean and beautifully located plus the eponymous couple running the place is super friendly and helpful. You can call them to make reservations (It’s easier if you speak a little French – Tel. +590 995297).
Another well-rated budget option would be Chez Caroline et Richard a little further to the West near the beautiful Plage de Pain de Sucre. There are countless other options, most of them in the mid-range price sector. Check out the map above for more places to stay.
Where to eat in the Îles des Saintes
Fish and seafood are the stars of the modest local culinary scene and there are quite a few restaurants along the bay serving the catch of the day. If you’re on a budget, I recommend going during lunch-time, when the prices are lower. I particularly liked Restaurant La Toumbana, which is located west of the Cimetière Marin.
If you have to save some money, there are a few places selling cheapish sandwiches in the vicinity of the church in Le Bourg. There’s also a small supermarket close to the church on the way to Plage de la Pompierre.
![dessaintes voyages](https://perchancetoroam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC08671-min-1024x768.jpg)
One thing you should check out, while you’re on the island are the local specialty Tourment’s D’Amour , small pastries filled with coconut cream. The taste exactly as heavenly as they sound:-)

Dessalines Reader, 29 November 1803
Many thanks to Patrick Tardieu for sending this version to me! You can read more about the publication of this document in Tardieu’s chapter in my edited volumed, The Haitian Declaration of Independence .
Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Henry Christophe, and Augustin Clervaux, “Proclamation, 29 November 1803,” Aurora General Advertiser , 5 January 1804, Philadelphia, No. 4059, Page 2.
![dessaintes voyages 18040105_Procl_Independance (2)](https://haitidoi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/18040105_procl_independance-21.jpg?w=584)
St. Domingo –According to the latest accounts from this island the blacks had possessed themselves of every part except Cape Nichola Mole. The English had taken all shipping belonging to the French and conveyed the views as well as the army of Rochambeau to Jamaica.
The following proclamation of the independence of the island has been published by the three principal military chiefs:–
PROCLAMATION. OF DESSALINES, CHRISTOPHE & CLERVEAUX [sic], CHIEFS OF ST. DOMINGO.
In the name of the black people and the men of colour of St. Domingo.
The independence of St. Domingo is proclaimed. Restored to our primitive dignity, we have claimed our rights: we swear never to yield them to any power on earth: the frightful veil of prejudice is torn to pieces, and is so for ever. Woe be to whomsoever would dare again to put together its bloody tatters.
O! Landholders of St. Domingo, wandering in foreign colonies, by proclaiming our independence, we do not intend to forbid you indiscriminately from returning to your property: far be from us this unjust idea. We are not ignorant, that there are some among you, that have renounced their old errors, abjured the injustice of their exorbitant pretensions, and acknowledged the lawfulness of the cause for which we have been spilling our blood these twelve years. Toward these men who do us justice, we will act as brothers; let them rely for ever on our esteem and friendship: let them return among us. The God who protects us, the God of freemen bids us to stretch out towards them our conquering arm. But as for those who, intoxicated with a foolish pride and interested slaves of a guilty pretension, are blinded so much as to think that they are the essence of human nature, and they affect to believe that they are destined by Heaven to be our masters and our tyrants, let them never come near the land of St. Domingo; if they come hither, they will only meet with chains and deportation; let them stay then where they are; and tormented by their well deserved misery and the frowns of the just men that they have too long mocked at; let them still continue to move the pity and concern of nobody.
We have sworn not to listen to clemency towards all those who would dare to speak to us of slavery; we shall be inexorable, perhaps even cruel, towards all the troops who, themselves forgetting the object for which they have not ceased fighting since 1789, should come yet from Europe, to carry among us death and servitude. Nothing is too dear, and every means are lawful, to men from whom it is wished to tear the first of all blessings. Were they to cause rivers and torrents of blood to run; were they in order to maintain their liberty, to conflagrate the seven eighths of the globe, they are innocent before the tribunal of providence, that has not created men, to see them groaning under a harsh and shameful servitude.
If in the various insurrections that took place some inhabitants against whom we had not to complain, have been victims of the cruelty of a few soldiers or cultivators too much blinded by the remembrance of their past sufferings, to be able to distinguish the good and humane land owners from those that were unfeeling and cruel; we lament with all feeling souls so deplorable an end and declare to the world whatever may be said to the contrary by wicked people that the murders were committed contrary to the wishes of our hearts. It was impossible, especially in the crisis in which the colony was, to be able to prevent or stop these horrors. They who are in the least acquainted with history, all know that a people, when assailed by civil dissentions, though they may be the most polished on earth, give themselves up to all kinds of excess, and the authority of the chiefs always but poorly consolidated in a time of revolution, cannot punish all those that are guilty, without always meeting with new difficulties. But now a days the Aurora of peace lets us have the glimpse of a less stormy time, now that the calm of victory has succeeded to the troubles of a dreadful war, every thing in St. Domingo ought to assume a new face, and its government henceforward to be that of justice.
Done at the head quarters, Fort Dauphin, November 29, 1803.
(Signed) DESSALINES CHRISTOPHE and CLERVEAUX
B. Aime, Sec’ry
