French-Guiana Kourou The-Guianas


Kourou’s depressing, scattered sprawl of cheap ’70s and ’80s architecture can be blamed on the establishment of the Centre Spatial Guyanais which employs some 1350 people. For the seat of the country’s economic strong-force, there is surprisingly little culture and the most recommended activity after a visit to the Space Center is to hightail it out by boat to the Îles du Salut. The only area of the town worth visiting is Le Vieux Bourg which is a great strip for eating, drinking and wondering why the rest of the town isn’t this hip. Kourou is the fastest growing city in French Guiana and also one of the poorest; watch your back.
