Lush vegetation, mountainous with a rich ecosystem and the home of La Soufriere volcano. Marie Galante - Authentic! The largest of the islands, the place where rum reigns and sandy beaches beckon Consisting of nine islands, two of which are inhabited (Terre de Haut and Terre de Bas), the bays are beautiful and the food is delightful. Grande Terre - Fascinating! Beautiful beaches, resorts and restaurants adorn this island of rich heritage. Quite a popular beach, people come here mainly for the mud baths believed to possess healing qualities, capable of curing various ailments including rheumatism. Located in the fi shing village of Vieux-Bourg, this beach is also nice for picnics. La Désirade - Pristine! Relatively untouched with quiet simplicity, lovely beaches and spectacular coral reefs.
