It’s no surprise, then, that Guadeloupe Islands offers so much for so many different segments of the travel market: . Families who want their children to enjoy authentic rather than mass-produced experiences . Ecotourists who are blown away by the rugged peaks and lush forests and coral habitat . Sporting types who sail and dive, hike and take flight on kiteboards . Culturally curious travelers who love the markets, the music, the old-fashioned rural and agricultural life. . Francophiles and even people who can’t speak a word of French but appreciate French sophistication and cuisine, not to mention French-engineered roads . Honeymooners and other romantics What all these kinds of travelers have in common is an appreciation of the Guadeloupe archipelago’s authenticity, Franco-Caribbean/Creole vibe, traditional family values, and respect for the sun- kissed land and sea.
