In dainty Terre-de-Haute, diminutive sibling of Guadeloupe and queen of the Îles des Saintes, French charm and Caribbean culture are woven together in laid-back towns and sleepy fishing villages. High above, Fort Napoleon and Le Chameau peak are flanked by fragrant forests of fern and frangipani, overlooking picture-perfect landscapes bathed in golden sunlight and sailboats afloat on gin-clear bays.
