Fort Napoléon - Terre-de-Haut, Les Saintes, Guadeloupe - Drawing Waymarks on Waymarking.com

Built on the Morne Mire hill (107 metres), Fort Napoléon was originally named Fort Louis. It was destroyed by British forces in 1809. It was rebuilt in 1844-1867, and named after Napoleon III, but never saw use in battle, and was instead used as a penitentiary. It has now been turned into a museum dedicated to the Saintes’ history, culture, and environment. It also contains the Jardin exotique du Fort Napoléon, a botanical garden dedicated to local succulent plants and where we can often see iguanas wandering around.

From Fort Napoléon, there is a breathtaking view on the bay of Terre-de-Haut (also called bay des Saintes) which is one of the most beautiful bay in the world. (See our pictures)
