 This is where we come from ! And we love Guadeloupe, the beaches are so blue , the sand is white and the sun perfect ! Paradize ! We really do like the food , the traditionnal dances ,and of course the people ! And our favorite thing over all, is the créole , which is one of the Guadeloupéen language .
