Last Morning in Cayenne Old Town

After enjoying a lovely dinner last night, I decided to go for a brief walk around Cayenne Old Town after breakfast. The centre is mainly from the 17th century, and the old town district blends influences from France, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Tropical-colored Creole-style houses sit beside the hilltop ruins of the French colonial Fort Cépérou, which overlooks the Cayenne River.
I went through the market and old fishing harbour, very rundown; it seemed like quite a lot of the locals were fairly poor, and the shops and cafes outside of the centre were a bit rough and dirty.
Nevertheless, some parts found in the main commercial thoroughfare looked better.
I took a few pictures of the street graffiti and wandered about before returning to the hotel and awaiting my transfer to Aéroport International de Cayenne - Félix Éboué and my flight back via Paris.Leggi altro
