Travel French Guiana

 

The main international airport of French Guiana is Cayenne-Rochambeau Airport, located in the commune of Matoury, a southern suburb of Cayenne. There are three daily flights to Paris (Orly), served by Air France, Air Caraïbes and Corsairfly. The flight time from Cayenne to Paris is 8 hours and 25 minutes and from Paris to Cayenne it is 9 hours and 10 minutes. There are also flights to Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre, Port-au-Prince, Miami and Belem.

The main port of French Guiana is the Port of Degrad des Cannes, located on the estuary of the river Mahury, in the commune of Remire-Montjoly, a south-eastern suburb of Cayenne. Almost all imports of French Guiana and exports pass through the Port of Degrad des Cannes. Built in 1969, replacing the old port of Cayenne, which was congested and could not cope with modern traffic.



A paved highway from Regina to Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock (city of the Brazilian border) was opened in 2004, completing the road from Cayenne to the Brazilian border. It is now possible to drive on a fully paved road from Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni on the Surinamese border to Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock, on the border of Brazil.

Under an international treaty between France and Brazil signed in July 2005, a bridge over the river Oyapock (which marks the border with Brazil) is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in 2010. This bridge will be the first land crossing ever opened between France and Brazil, and indeed between French Guiana and the rest of the world (there is no bridge across the river Oyapock, and no bridge crossing the Maroni River brand the border with Suriname - there is a ferry crossing to Albina, Suriname.). When opening the bridge, you can drive uninterrupted from Cayenne to Macapá, capital of Amapá in Brazil

Parlezvouz Francais It's Still South America...
My hammock was out the mosquito net ready and I was about to look for my windup torch when the first rain drop hit me. It was then I was reminded the little dry season was late in Guyane. Like every night it would rain a little here and there with a stronger deluge in the morning and another early afternoon. Sleeping in the car it would be then. For the third night in a row.I hadn't intende

Devil's Island French Guiana
Today we visited Devil's Island well actually it was Isle Royale tourists aren't allowed on actual Devil's Island still. Isle Royal once served the headquarters for the prison on Devils island which was opened by Napoleon III and became a horrific place of exile. I guess somewhere around 80000 prisoners were sent there but only 30000 ever made it out alive. Although it was cool to see some
