Guadeloupe comprises five islands: Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre (separated from Basse-Terre by a narrow sea channel called salt river) with the adjacent islands of La Désirade, Les Saintes and Marie-Galante.
As part of France, Guadeloupe is part of the European Union; hence its currency is the euro.
Guadeloupe is however not party to the Schengen Agreement.
Guadeloupe has been a French possession since 1635.

The island of Saint Martin is shared with the Netherlands; its southern portion is named Sint Maarten and is part of the Netherlands Antilles and its northern portion is named Saint-Martin and is part of Guadeloupe.

HHG listed Saint-Martin in Guadeloupe and Sint Maarten in Netherlands Antilles.
