terre de haut1 of 3

After a long day of boating and fishing fun, a sunset rhum reward is most definitely in order. It's a treat easily enjoyed in Terre-de-Haut.

The best sunrise spot in a particular destination is often open to debate. The best Terre-de-Haut sunrise spot, though, cannot be argued.

The butterflies in my belly intensified with every passing second. Terre-de-Haut, the jewel of Les Saintes, was only 45 minutes away.

Like few places I've stayed, Hotel LoBleu in Terre-de-Haut is relaxed and quite comfortably content with its own special kind of wonderful.

The ultimate lookout in Les Saintes, La Tour Modèle was built in 1843 to protect French interests in Terre-de-Haut and its sister islets.

Notre Dame de l'Assomption, aka: Le Eglise de Terre-de-Haut, stands out among the shops and bars in the commercial corner of Terre-de-Haut.

I didn't notice Chez Gisèle et Philippe at first. Once I did, though, I couldn't take my eyes off the red-roofed home just above la plage.

My favorite beaches share a level of inaccessibility, the better to keep crowds away. Pain de Sucre Beach in Guadeloupe is one of them.

Les Roches Percées at la Plage de Pompierre in Terre-de-Haut, Guadeloupe is close enough to shore to access on foot and impossible to ignore.
