On the hills of the charming village of Deshaies nestles one of the most visited sites in Guadeloupe: Deshaies Botanical Garden... Famous for having been the property of the comedian Coluche, this estate of seven hectares, bought by the landscape gardener and nursery owner Michel Gaillard in 1991, is now an exceptional flower and animal park, and a listed Remarkable Garden. A real festival of colour and a celebration of West Indian flora, with orchids, bougainvillea, hibiscus, heliconias and torch ginger. Strolling along a 1.5 km path, you can also see a lily pond filled with koi carp, a large aviary that's home to some intrepid little Lorikeets, an arboretum with majestic trees, a bamboo forest, flamingos standing proudly near the waterfall, a plant-covered wall where water hyacinths with blue flowers bloom, a lovely village of macaws, and also a palm grove, cacti and an avenue of tree ferns! Just before you reach the cacti, be sure to admire the talipot palm, a unique palm tree in Guadeloupe that originally comes from Sri Lanka. With a lifespan of 80 to 100 years, it dies after producing its only flower...

You will also have the option to eat lunch there if you wish. As its name indicates, its panoramic restaurant enjoys a superb view of the park's waterfall and the Caribbean sea!
