Marie Galante

Just southeast of Guadeloupe is the lovely small island of Marie Galante. We stayed a few days.

Like many of these islands sugar cane is still an economic mainstay.  There are many old sail-powered windmills still around the island.  We rented a car and drove most of the island in one day.
