Petite Terre Island
Nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, southeast of Grande-Terre in Guadeloupe, lies the small but ecologically rich archipelago known as Petite Terre. Comprising two islands—Terre de Bas and Terre de Haut—this uninhabited sanctuary is not only a marvel of natural beauty, but also a quiet witness to centuries of maritime activity, colonialism, and ecological transformation. Though often overshadowed by larger neighboring islands, Petite Terre has a fascinating historical and cultural footprint.
