Tropical exile on two wheels
The butterfly-shaped right wing of the archipelago will be your playground, and Sainte-Anne, your pied-à-terre, from where you'll go butterflying by bike every day. Grande-Terre is essentially a plain dominated by small hills - known as mornes - the highest of which rises to 177m.
Sainte-Anne, renowned for its beaches, is one of Guadeloupe's tourist hubs, but much quieter than Pointe-à-Pitre and Le Gosier. From here, you'll criss-cross much of Grande-Terre on roads with little traffic. In particular, you'll head north to the Pointe des Châteaux and its pretty cliffs.
The sea is never far away and a French touch in your plate will complete this very popular scenery with cyclists. Add to that a day in Marie-Galante, where the ferry will take you from Saint-François, and you'll have wings! Then, thanks to the daily circuits organized in loops, you always have the possibility of taking a rest day to enjoy the beaches and the delicious cocktails offered at the hotel if your legs need a break!
