A Tropical Getaway on Two Wheels
The right wing of the butterfly-shaped archipelago will be your playground, and Saint-François will be your base, from which you’ll set out each day to explore by bike. Grande-Terre is essentially a plain dotted with small hills—known as “mornes”—the highest of which rises to 177 meters.
Saint-François, renowned for its beaches, is one of Guadeloupe’s major tourist destinations, but it’s significantly quieter than Pointe-à-Pitre and Le Gosier. From there, you’ll explore much of Grande-Terre on roads with little traffic. In particular, you’ll drive north toward Pointe des Châteaux and its beautiful cliffs.
The ocean, never far away, and a touch of French flair on your plate will round out this setting, which is very popular with cyclists. Add to that a day trip to Marie-Galante—accessible by ferry from Saint-François—and you’ll feel like you’re flying! Plus, thanks to the daily looped routes, you can always take a rest day to enjoy the beaches and the delicious cocktails served at the hotel if your legs need a break!
