As a child, my favourite looking Caribbean island was Guadeloupe, and I’m sure you know why. It was the easiest island to recognise.
I christened the French Caribbean butterfly recently. Travelling to Guadeloupe with Air Cairibes and visiting the many villages rich of culture was an eye opener; it’s so French! But of course it would be – petite France surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.
Guadeloupe is a fusion of landscapes, breathtaking panoramas, vibrancy, exquisite cuisine and character.
Put it on your island-hop list.

Orange patterned chiffron dress and jeans shorts, Biggy.
I received a letter about this picture which is part of The Supermarket fashion spread in SHE’s summer issue. It made me smile as I appreciated how the writer felt.
I have never seen, and will never see a supermarket as fashionable as the Castries market in St Lucia. The orange patterned chiffon dress and jeans shorts by Biggy, the way the model fashionably sipped her coconut water, and the huge smile on the man’s face as he sat in his van, were pictorial works of art!
