Great location right by the sea. A bit remote, but worth the visit

the much more interesting of the two routes on this mountain. Sure-footedness and some climbing skills required in the upper part. Great views down below and in the distance (Terre-de-Bas, Dominica, Basse-Terre ...)

The beginning of the descent is very impressive, especially if you suffer a bit from MdDS (mal du debarquement syndrome). The slope is almost 40%, in scree. Once the first walls have been descaled, it is much less dizzying but it remains technical: walk well on the top of the large stones to avoid slipping on the dead leaves. Avoid in rainy weather of course.

The town hall only differs from the other houses by two old cannons and the inscription "Mairie": colorful, Caribbean, beautiful.
