Guadeloupe is an island group or archipelago located in the eastern Caribbean Sea with a land area of 1,628 square kilometres (629 sq. mi). It is an overseas department of France. As part of France, Guadeloupe is part of the European Union; hence, as for most EU countries, its currency is the euro. Guadeloupe mixes the best of France – a fully modern infrastructure and fantastic food – with a local culture that people here are proud of and want to share. Guadeloupe’s two main islands look like the wings of a butterfly and are joined together by a mangrove swamp.
