More than 500 launches have left from this vital space center, begun in the 1960s. Guided tours of the facility and its six launch sites are among the region's most popular attractions.

Well worth the effort. We visited as part of a group and one of our tour members was not on the list so couldn't participate so make sure you just don't rock up and expect to get on a tour. We were lucky enough to within two weeks of a launch so we got to see a rocket moving in to position. Such an interesting place and well worth the effort. Highly recommend.

Des espaces à larges champs de vision et une grande serre d'immersion vous permettent d'être au plus près des animaux : de redoutables serpents en imposants reptiles, de puissants fauves en singes facétieux, d'oiseaux paradisiaques en rapaces bruyants, tous formidables représentants de la biodiversité Guyanaise et du nouveau monde. Chaque mercredi et samedi à 15H, soigneurs et éthologue du zoo vous emmènent au coeur de leur métier pour partager leur quotidien auprès des animaux. Sans oublier l'attraction exclusive du zoo : une balade en forêt

A zoo comprises animals from all corners distant whereas a sanctuary sits in nature local to an area with species from the area only. This only comprises fauna and flora from the Amazon area, is located in the jungle proper and well laid out in a long rectangular 3-4 hour slow walk. Excellent in so many ways that I could have spent far longer there but leave with enough new knowledge of the only found here animals to appreciate the bio-diversity of the North Amazon and region. A terrific must see and well worth the 12 euro!

The Transportation Camp was opened in 1858 to receive convicts from France who were shipped to the colonies to do forced labour. The most dangerous ones would go to Devil's island offshore Guyana and the other ones to work. The actual city of Saint Laurent was initiated later, around 1880. The Camp closed in 1946 or some say 1954, but has been well preserved since then. You can visit it by yourself or with your tour guide. One of the Baracks has been repurposed to become the Saint Laurent public library.

I travelled to the islands today with the team at Tropic Alizes. It was an incredible day steeped in history and beautiful scenery. I won’t rapidly forget the beach at Ile St Joseph or the view from the restaurant at the top of Ile Royale. Fantastic trip absolutely worth taking during your visit to French Guyana
