Here's a quick summary of the island for the travel enthusiasts.
Guadeloupe is located between Dominica and Antigua and is a part of French overseas territory. It consists of six inhabited islands—Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, La Désirade, Îles des Saintes as well as many uninhabited islands. Because of its French roots, much of the 400,000 population of the island speak French. Some of the tourist hot spots there are Deshaies Botanic Gardens, the Anse La Perle beach, the Langley Resort Fort Royal and Zoo de Guadeloupe au Parc des Mamelles.
