Guadeloupe, le pays des Belles-Eaux

Overview

A picturesque tour of Guadeloupe (French Caribbean) and its archipelago filmed in 1928 by Alfred Chaumel, colonial administrator: from Pointe-à-Pitre and its harbour to the islands of Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, and La Désirade, passing by the jagged coasts of the Porte d'Enfer, the sugarcane fields, the ravines, and the cockpits, the film showcases the natural beauty of the landscapes and the diversity of human activities.
