The French Antilles
Enchanting islands with tropical forests, vital fauna and flora, tranquil bays, gardens of flowers, golden beaches and an inviting turquoise sea
Immediately on seeing them from the air, before landing, you’ll be amazed by the exquisite array of colours: green, blue, turquoise and gold. The calm turquoise sea, which laps each island, has a brilliant colour, and is illuminated by a warm, intense light. These are the French Antilles, just some of the wonderful Caribbean islands belonging to the Antilles group, made up of four idyllic main islands: Saint Martin, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Saint Barthélemy. Islands that are ideal for a holiday of true relaxation, surrounded by unspoilt nature and golden sun-kissed beaches. These small French gems have an exotic touch, and each island is worth discovering for its unique natural beauty, but also for the culture and lively art scene. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Saint Martin (or Saint Maarten) is a paradise for beach lovers. This small Franco-Dutch island of 75 km2 in the heart of the Antilles is filled with natural and cultural riches.
