Terre de Haut, Guadeloupe Few travelers are familiar with the French Caribbean department of Guadeloupe, and even fewer realize it’s actually an archipelago. The crown jewel of the island chain is Terre de Haut, the headquarters of an even smaller archipelago called Les Saintes. It’s a slice of Brittany in the French West Indies, with a fishing-village vibe, terrific bars perfect for a ti’ punch and a quiver of secluded, stunning beaches, most notably the Caribbean’s minuscule “Sugarloaf.”
