About Guadeloupe

Satellite view is showing Guadeloupe, which includes the butterfly shaped two main islands Basse-Terre and Grande Terre, those are separated by a narrow sea channel, the Salée River, and a number of smaller islands, altogether a group of seven islands (it were 9, but Saint-Barthélemy and the French part of Saint Martin island are since February 2007, no longer part of Guadeloupe). The smaller islands include Marie-Galante, La Désirade and Îles des Saintes. The archipelago is situated between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, southeast of Puerto Rico. The total landarea of Guadeloupe is 1630 km², that is slightly smaller than two thirds of Luxembourg, or somewhat larger than half the size of Rhode Island.

Montainous Basse-Terre is of volcanic origin, it is home to the highest mountain peak in the Lesser Antilles, La Grande Soufrière, an active stratovolcano with a height of 1,467 m.

Guadeloupe is an overseas department of France and is therefore in the European Union.
It has a population of 403,000 inhabitants (2014). Guadeloupe's capital is Basse-Terre.
Spoken languages are French (official) almost all locals speak also Creole patois.
