Grande Terre, the eastern half of the beautiful island of Guadeloupe in the French West Indies, holds a rich history and breathtaking natural wonders. La Pointe-a-Pitre, the chief town of Grande-Terre, has seen its fair share of destruction throughout time. The devastating earthquake on February 8th, 1843 left parts of this vibrant city in ruins. As we delve into the past through engravings and artwork from the 19th century by E de Berard, we catch a glimpse of what life was like during that era. The Grand-Croix atop Pointe des Chateaux stands tall as a testament to resilience and strength. The rugged coastline is adorned with majestic rock formations that have been shaped by crashing waves over centuries.
