Fort Fleur d’Épée is a small historical site that played a role in guarding Pointe-à-Pitre and Guadeloupe during the 17th and 18th centuries. While it lacks standout features compared to other forts from this era, it’s worth visiting if you enjoy history or scenic views.

The fort itself is fairly standard in design, with defenses typical of the time period. However, one unique detail is the graffiti etched into the walls of an underground passage, some of which dates back to the 1700s and 1800s. These marks add an intriguing glimpse into the lives of those who once occupied the site.

The real highlight is the view. From the fort, you can enjoy sweeping vistas of La Plage de la Grande Baie and the Caribbean Sea to the south, making it a pleasant spot for photography or a quiet moment of reflection.

Overall, Fort Fleur d’Épée offers a solid experience, particularly for those interested in local history or picturesque landscapes. While it’s not a must-see destination, it’s a pleasant stop if you’re...

L'hôtel Fort Fleur d'Epée est un endroit merveilleux pour passer un très agréable séjour. Dans son écrin de verdure arboré de cocotiers et de filaos, le site bénéficie d'une vue imprenable sur la mer. Mais ce qui le rend encore plus fabuleux, c'est son personnel aussi exceptionnel que chaleureux et dont la seule préoccupation est notre bien-être et notre pleine satisfaction en tant que client tout au long de notre séjour. Tout est magnifiquement orchestré depuis l'accueil très agréable du gardien suivi de celui tout aussi chaleureux de la réception, jusqu'à la préparation minutieuse des chambres, en passant par le bar, l'animation et la restauration qui est d'une variété gastronomique et d'une qualité rare. Chaque employé de l'hôtel met tout son coeur pour faire de notre séjour une félicité. Pour avoir échangé avec plusieurs membres du personnel, certains y travaillent depuis de très nombreuses années voire y ont fait toute leur carrière professionnelle, preuve que l'hôtel Fort Fleur d'Epée est une très bonne maison où il fait bon vivre et travailler et cela les clients le ressentent : il y a une chaleur et une bienveillance qui règnent constamment dans tout l'hôtel. Les infrastructures sont bien pensées et entretenues. La piscine est magnifique avec ses très beaux équipements et sa plage en bois rouge d'un confort exceptionnel. L'eau est parfaitement équilibrée. Pour moi, c'est un sans faute et je recommande vivement ce très bel hôtel à tous ceux, grands et petits, familles et groupes, qui souhaitent passer un magnifique séjour, aussi divertissant qu'inoubliable. Encore Bravo à toute l'équipe de l'hôtel Fort Fleur...

I think 4 stars is fair. The view is beautiful, the tunnel is really cool and it's FREE! Some of the staff also speaks English. On the downside, all the infomation placcards are only in French, there aren't very many buildings and it's a bit difficult to get to if you don't have a car. If you're taking the public bus, it's a steep uphill climb with many switchbacks. They should talk to the Synogogue about opening a shortcut through...

Great viewpoint of the island. Fortifications inside the fort are not always open but worth a look when they are. Sometimes hosts cultural activities.
