Capesterre-de-Marie-Galante is located at the southeastern tip of the island. The city spreads widely in the lands on top of the island of Petite Place wind down, the mill of Bézard, Bellevue distillery in St. Croix, the cliffs at Anse Piton, the trail of pebbles which leads to the beaches and Taliseronde Strip, among other sites visit not to be missed. The main activity is fishing, livestock and sugar cane. This is a pretty village feet in the water that you can admire a panorama located halfway up the dreary Fathers to take some nice pictures. Open to the sea and the coral reef, the red roofs of Creole houses stand out in contrast on the horizon while flying over the turquoise colored wings of the kite in the winds. The Church Square hosts a small market, and the feast of the cooks once a year during the summer. Timeless, life flows between indolence and softness.
