Basse Terre, Guadeloupe

Basse Terre is the capital of Guadeloupe, a French overseas department in the West Indies. Basse,Terre is a port that ships the products of the surrounding agricultural area. Founded by the French in 1643, it retains its French colonial atmosphere, but its commercial prosperity passed to Pointe,a,Pitre in the late 18th cent. The town was destroyed by a hurricane in 1979, setting back prospects for economic development.
