Hi Martin,
I can't believe how fast the time is going and that you getting ready to leave!
On Terre de Haut-make sure to eat at La Case auz Epices. Thierry and Christiane are wonderful hosts and the location right on the water is lovely. (just past the small ferry dock)
Where did you decide to stay on this island?
When you are wandering around town stop in at L'Aventure and say hello to Anny Timsit. She is an incredible women that we were very fortunate to spend time with.
For a 'formal' dinner head up to Auberge des Petits Saints (closed on Monday nights). Come up in time for the view, drinks, and to read the lovely books in the sitting area. Didier and John Paul are very good hosts and really love having everyone over for dinner.
If you can head over to Terre de Bas do so! Call the day before and make reservations (only in French) @ Chez Eugentte for the 'safe fish', Poisson Coffre. If you enjoy hiking there are three trails and we had a blast! Head over to the 'airport' road too. The ferry ride is easy and gives you a great view of TdH from the sea. See if the tourist office has the map of TdB before you go over.
If you like hiking, on TdH go up to Le Chameau but be sure to go past the fort and follow the trail to the very end. Great views!
Fort Napolean should be open and I hate that we missed seeing the inside (due to the earthquake damage last year).
Plage de Pompierre is nice but can get overrun from the NUMEROUS DAY TRIPPERS from either the main island or the NUMEROUS small cruise ships.
Plage de Crawen is a very naturally beautiful beach and we did use it c/o every time we visited. Plage de Rodrigue for sunsets.
Evenings are nice to stroll around the park area....walk on Plage de Grande-Anse but no swimming....
- - I would have more info but we so loved Marie-Galante that we kept extending our stay there! Les Saintes is very wonderful and the people we met made it very special.
Wishing you a wonderful trip!!
Best regards,
Erma
