Baillif

While strolling in the commune of Baillif, you will be able to discover buildings and other monuments retracing all its history through the centuries. After admiring the pre-Columbian engraved rocks located in the Saint-Robert district, be sure to visit the Père-Labat tower on the Pointe des Pères. Last vestige of the first fortified works on the island made by Father Labat, it was erected at the beginning of the 18th century and takes the form of an important tower four meters high and thirteen wide. It is now the subject of a registration to the Historic Monuments.

Labeled Maison des Illustres, the Habitation-Sucrerie Clairefontaine is not lacking in interest either. Former home of Georges de Bologne de Saint-George and Joseph Bologne de Saint-George, it allows you to realize the wealth of the planters of yesteryear. Today in ruins, it still reveals remains of houses, a steam engine, an aqueduct, part of the sugar refinery or even a dungeon for slaves and an 18th century purgerie..

Passing through the region, you will also be able to appreciate the more modern Saint-Dominique church, the Habitation des Rochers listed as a Historic Monument or the Lignières house of the Habitation Bellevue from the 17th century.

To discover the magic of the surrounding landscapes, head to the Guadeloupe National Park and the Matouba jump located near Baillif.
