Marie-Galante, also known as the "Island of a Hundred Windmills", is a little piece of paradise at the heart of the French Antilles. With its rural traditions, the island cultivates authenticity and the art of peaceful living. Known for its white sand beaches and crystal-clear water, you can explore the coral reefs surrounding the lagoons.
Capesterre-de-Marie-Galante is located on the southern tip of the island. This little fishing village allows you to travel back in time. The red roofs of the Creole-style homes provide a stunning contrast to the turquoise-blue horizon.We recommend you visit Touloulou, a restaurant situated on a coconut tree lined beach, where you can savor a delicious meal of ouassous (crayfish) swimming in a luscious coconut sauce.
The must-see places on the island include: the Bellevue distillery, the Bézard windmill, the cliffs of Anse Piton, the pebble paths leading to the Taliseronde and Feuillard beaches, the Habitation Murat, the village of Saint Louis and Gueule Grand Gouffre. A wide choice of beaches awaits you. Our favorite is the beach at Anse de Mays in the northern part of the island.
For sports enthusiasts, there are many activities to choose from: mountain biking through sugar cane fields, quad biking, kitesurfing, scuba diving and so much more.
