Iracoubo
The town of Iracoubo, created at the beginning of the 19th century, became famous thanks to the arrival of
Father Prosper Raffray. He was to be the man behind the church, which was painted entirely by hand by a
convict whose name has gone down in history, Huguet. An absolute must to see or do: The Church of Saint-Joseph - The Amerindian village of Bellevue - Bathing in Morpio Creek

Duivelseiland - Isles du Salut
Ten miles off the coast of Kourou, lies a small archipelago consisting of Ile Royale, Ile Saint Joseph and Ile du Diable, or Devil's Island, where the Penal Colony was set up in 1852.
Over time, this prison, set on islands of lush vegetation, surrounded by an emerald sea, came to be one of the
most famous in the world, with famous convicts such as the Captain Dreyfus, Seznec or Papillon. It has now
been transformed into an enchanting area for walking among the vestiges of the prison or swimming in the crystal clear water. The îles du Salut are also a favorite among game fishing lovers.
Hattes Beach
The Beaches of les Hattes and Montjoly are undoubtedly the ideal spots to watch the Leatherback Turtle.
From April to July, these huge sea creatures, that can reach up to 6 feet in length and can weigh up to 1,500
lbs., can be seen laying eggs. From August to October, the beaches are the scene for the moving sight of the
birth of these thousands of turtles that one day will come back to lay their own eggs on one of these beaches....
Maroni River
This river, which separates Surinam from French Guiana, runs through some magnificent scenery on its 330
-mile journey, via a series of rapids. The river runs through a number of picturesque villages, such as Apatou,
Grand Santi and Papaichton, where the ancestral peoples, such as the Noirs Marrons and the Maroni Amerindians still live.
Mount Favard
This wonderful setting, 40 m south-east of Cayenne, near the Kaw Swamps, has kept the traces of French
Guiana's first inhabitants, the Arawak and Carib Indians. This footpath is the ideal way of exploring and discovering the mysteries of this pre-Columbian period.
The ruins of the Favard House, with its mill and its sugar cane boiler, are a reminder of the colonial past of this
region, where sugar cane, cocoa beans and coffee were grown. An exact copy of this rock carving made
out of synthetic resin can be admired on the ground floor of the French Guiana Tourist Board in Cayenne.
Oyapock basin
As you travel the river that separates French Guiana from Brazil, you will discover a fascinating region. This
magnificent river has some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the whole territory.
Ten miles from the town of Saint Georges, which marks the border with Brazil, the Maripa Falls form one of
the most beautiful natural sites in French Guiana.
It can be reached by a track or by canoe and you can spend the night there before beginning a trip up the
Oyapock to discover the Amerindian villages that line the river.
Who knows, maybe you will stumble across the mythical city of Eldorado, that one legend says marks the source of the Oyapock

Cuisine - Guyaanse keuken
French Guyanese gastronomy is a fabulous and audacious blend of the traditions of several continents. Its
eloquent richness will delight any palate in search of exotic delights.
The generous sea and the territory's many rivers mean that you will not leave French Guiana without having
tasted, in a court-bouillon, blaffed or grilled, a wide variety of fish such as red snapper, weakfish, machoiran, grouper or shark, not forgetting seafood, giant prawns or crabs.
The forest also provides Guyanese cuisine with riches, and there are many dishes with game such as
collared peccary, white-lipped peccary, paca, tapir or agouti, eaten as a fricassee and accompanied by rice, couac, roasted manioc and kidney beans.
The huge variety and abundance of fruit, pineapples, mangoes, papayas, rambutans and bananas, also contribute to the specificity of the Guyanese relaxed rhythm of life.
Geschiedenis van Frans Guyana
In January 1500, two years after Christopher Columbus' famous journey, Vincent Pinson became the first
person to explore French Guiana. Around 1643, in their search for Eldorado, companies such as France Equinoxiale and Cap Nord began the colonization of French Guiana.
Colonization: in 1644, Governor Poncet de Brétigny set up a fort on the highest hill in Cayenne, which he named Cépérou, after a Galibi Indian chief.
Gold and the penal colony: in the 17th century, what is now French Guiana saw influxes of French, Spanish, English and Dutch, all eager to search for the mythical Eldorado.
In 1852, in order to be able to close down the prisons in Toulon, Brest and Rochefort, France decided to make
Guiana a penal administration. Over 80,000 prisoners arrived in French Guiana over the years, from the Transportation Camp to the Iles du Salut. Among them were Dreyfus, Papillon and Seznec.
