The popular BBC television series, Death in Paradise, is shown in over 220 countries across the world. The series is filmed entirely in Guadeloupe and Deshaies serves as the site for the fictional town of Sainte Marie. The series films each episode primarily in the commune of Deshaies and also in the immediately surrounding areas in Pointe-Noire and Sainte-Rose. Several places in Deshaies serve as recurring venues, such as the Honoré police station (next to the church in Deshaies), the inspector’s shack (on Perle Beach) or Catherine’s restaurant (initially La Kaz and now Le Madras, both in Deshaies) – all of which we will visit.
You are invited to hop on board our 4x4 Defender and tour the different film sites and locations used in the show since Season 1 in 2011. With six years of personal involvement in the production, we have inside knowledge of the sites and scenes.
The day begins with breakfast at the Langley Resort Fort Royal and a tour of the different site locations at this beautiful hotel. Afterwards, we travel south towards Pointe-Noire in the direction of habitation Beauséjour to admire the rain forests and natural beauty of the area. You then traverse a suspended bridge over the Corossol River in the hear of the national park, Le Parc National de la Guadeloupe, where you may be lucky enough to see raccoons. Our next stop is the Cascade aux Écrevisses, a beautiful waterfall with easy access just off of the Route de la Traversée. After passing through agricultural and forested areas, we reach Habitation La Routa before driving towards the center of Sainte-Rose to see the beauty of this real Creole town and its quaint port.
Afterwards, you will pass through fields of sugar cane, admire a dark sand beach and mangrove forests before arriving at the historic Pointe Allègre (where the first French settlers arrived) to watch the pelicans and frigates fly over. Back in Deshaies, we offer you an artisanal ice cream while touring the Honoré police station, the port of Sainte Marie and Catherine’s bar near the bay.
Our trip ends with an aperitif at the Langley Resort Fort Royal while watching the sun set over the Caribbean Sea.
