Les Abymes, Administrative center in Grande-Terre, Guadeloupe.

Les Abymes extends over 181 square kilometers, with three distinct zones including hills, an urban plain, and mangrove areas near Rivière-Salée.

Archaeological excavations revealed a substantial settlement in Belle Plaine between 1000 and 1200 AD, preceding the establishment of the first village in 1691.

The Sonis Cultural Centre hosts regular performances and exhibitions that showcase the Caribbean traditions and contemporary artistic expressions of Guadeloupe.

The Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport serves as the main transportation hub, connecting Les Abymes with other Caribbean islands and international destinations.

Three quarters of Les Abymes territory consists of mangrove forests, creating natural barriers between residential areas and the coastal waters.
