A Spectacular Botanical Garden and Wildlife Park Open to the public since the 1st April 2001, the Botanical Gardens at Deshaies are a recent creation. This park, whose youth is imperceptible, has very quickly imposed itself as the place to be for nature enthusiasts and lovers of tropical plants. Situated on the windward coast of Basse-Terre, 100m in altitude up above the town of Deshaies, the garden stretches out over 5 hectares of sloping mountainside. Its favourable location guarantees beautiful views over the coast and an unrivalled vantage-point overlooking the bay of Deshaies. The site was already home to a nursery created by Guy Blandin, a plant-lover who brought rare and unknown plant species from his travels around the world back to Guadeloupe. Many of them unfortunately disappeared when Cyclone Hugo hit and severely damaged the island in 1989. The humorist Michel Colluci, also known as Coluche, acquired the property in 1979. A few years later, in 1985, he invited his friend Michel Gaillard, an interior landscaper in mainland France, to set up his nursery there in exchange for taking care of the property's garden. A year later, the death of Coluche brought the future of the property back into question. Michel Gaillard bought back the property in 1991 to honour the memory of his friend, with the idea in mind of creating a botanical garden. This risky and ambitious project required several years of planning, of research into its feasibility and then of execution. The garden was finally brought about in accordance with Michel Gaillard's and the landscaper Samuel Craquelin's plans. Over the course of the path which snakes its way through the gardens, visitors today discover a world of real abundance: a world with 800 species of plant all brought together, with several animal species, which were introduced much to the delight of children, and with the most spectacular and unexpected landscapes following one after the other. Tourists are invited on an unforgettable walk amidst fifteen or so different scenes.
Very nice garden with flowers, trees, plants, parrots, hummingbirds and flamingos. The restaurant has a terrace with beautiful view and good coffee. Play area for small children and a café. All the names of the plants, trees and flowers are in French, would be nice if this is in English too. Some warnings like not to feed the birds with fish food are in English so.. We spend a couple of hours walking in the garden and had a coffee too. 15.50 euro's is a good price.

Some really great snorkeling here on either side of the beach. Not very crowded on a Friday. Tasty food at the top of the beach, just be prepared to wait about 10 minutes but worth it!

This is the Caribbean beach I dream about when the weather turns cold back home. Toasty soft sand, gentle lapping waves, plenty of shade around the edge provided by palms and other trees, and a number of terrific restaurants in all price ranges ringing the parking area. The water is shallow enough to accommodate children (with supervision) and one has to wade out quite far to reach deep water. There are no life guards and occasionally we felt a strong undertow, so you should exercise good judgment when you go swimming. The beach is long enough to accommodate people who want to fit in a good walk.
