Marie-Galante
Marie-Galante, a small island located in the south of Guadeloupe, on which it is administratively dependent, has the advantage of being very spared from tourism. This partly explains the high density of sugar cane cultivation: 20% of the territory, i.e. 3000 hectares in all!
The planters have been able to preserve traditional cultivation methods such as cutting the cane by hand, transporting it with ox carts (cabrouets)...
The active distilleries produce agricultural rums of a very high quality: Bellevue, Poisson (and its famous Père Labat), Bielle and Rhumrhum PMG.
