Caiena Capital

Caiena

Caiena, the capital of Guiana Francesa, sits on a peninsula between the Caiena River and the Atlantic. The old center brings together wooden creole houses around Place des Palmistes and Place Léopold-Héder, the Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur, the Alexandre-Franconie Museum and the central market, and Forte Cépérou dominates the city from the top of the hill. To the east, Rémire-Montjoly has the nearest beaches.

Caiena

Kourou

Kourou is on the coast, about 60 km from Caiena, and grew up around the Centro Espacial Guianense, Europe’s launch base. The base offers guided tours by reservation; the Guyaspace Expérience shows how rockets and satellites work, and boats to the Ilhas da Salvação, with the ruins of the old prison, depart from the port. On the waterfront, the Pointe des Roches shelters the Tour Dreyfus.
