Pain de sucre

Pain de sucre, Volcanic hill in Terre-de-Haut, Les Saintes, Guadeloupe, France.

Pain de Sucre is a volcanic hill rising 52 m above the Baie des Saintes, occupying a small peninsula in western Terre-de-Haut between Petite Anse Pain de Sucre and Anse Devant. Its steep flanks drop straight into the water, with dense green vegetation above and vertical basalt columns, called orgues basaltiques, exposed on the lower cliffs.

The hill occupies a small peninsula in western Terre-de-Haut, between Petite Anse Pain de Sucre and Anse Devant. Its vertical walls of basaltic columns are a tourist attraction, and the site is classified as a natural monument under the French law of 2 May 1930.

The hill's name comes from its shape, which resembles a sugarloaf. Its steep basalt columns, called orgues basaltiques, draw visitors to the western tip of Terre-de-Haut, between Petite Anse Pain de Sucre and Anse Devant. The site is a classified natural site under the French law of 2 May 1930.

The hill occupies a small peninsula in western Terre-de-Haut, between Petite Anse Pain de Sucre and Anse Devant. It is reached on foot from the village of Terre-de-Haut; the steep flanks and the water at the base mean the rock is best seen from the surrounding bay or from a boat.

The hill is a protected natural site under the French law of 2 May 1930, listed for its basalt columns. It occupies an entire small peninsula in western Terre-de-Haut, between Petite Anse Pain de Sucre and Anse Devant, so the sea surrounds it on three sides.
