but not all, of France’s former colonial possessions.
French Guiana remains an outlier on the South American continent in many respects but it continues to be a relatively successful region that continues to make advances into the modern world with the heavy assistance of metropolitan France. I consider it to be a place well worth visiting, especially as part of a larger visit to the region as I am not certain that the limited attractions of French Guiana alone would justify the journey, especially if one is not a fluent speaker of French. But it is a feather in the cap of a world traveler to be sure.
Tomorrow we visit another tropical location but one that is far removed from most anything to do with French Guiana except France, the French language, and the ever present baguette.
