These two islands nestled in the Caribbean sea are overseas departments of France.Napoleon's bride,Empress Josephine,was born and raised on this island.If one takes the island's rum route you'll get a sense of the historical importance of sugar and rum in this region.A word of caution for those planning to visit the 11 distilleries on the island,you may find yourself saying,"Pas ni problem"(no problem) after you have had what is called on the island" ti punch",a mixture of rum,sugar syrup and lime.
On the island of Guadeloupe,that's the one that is shaped like a butterfly you'll find over 200 restaurants with french cuisine,and the islands has some of the best European items-of course the Euro is the currency in use.One of the most colourful events is the annual Fete de Cuisiniers,or festival of women cooks.The next time you planning to visit the island stay at the Amando hotel....You'll absolutely love it.
