Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe: the French gateway to the Caribbean Sea
Pointe-à-Pitre is the capital and largest city of the Overseas Department of Guadeloupe, located on the southwestern coast of Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles, in the Caribbean Sea. As the central hub of the French Overseas Department, it combines French elegance with Caribbean dynamism: colorful colonial buildings, historical landmarks such as St. John's Baptist Church, and the bustling Mercado de la Schercherche, where the scent of rum and spices fills the air. As an important port in the Eastern Caribbean, the city's economy is dependent on tourism, banana exports and services. The year-round climate makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Guadeloupe's natural wonders (e.g., the Barbeytel Waterfalls, Pointe-à-Salé National Park), and the clash of French and Creole cultures makes it a unique cross-cultural destination.
