Hello expatriates. As for shopping in Guadeloupe, but rather poverty. Nothing compares to the European consumer. Here, everything is very expensive, there is a shipping fee called dock dues and is very heavy. Everything is terribly expensive here, even food, except for some local products, such as bananas !!! Basically, the sun can be costly. The amplettes are mostly in Destreland, Jarry, commercial area. Everything is done Jarry, because it's the only place where the shops are concentrated. There is also a possibility for the island of St. Martin if you want luxury goods, but the price of airfare or boat is taking in loads, but I've never tried to visit there so, to see. One thing is sure, everything is terribly expensive here, and wages do not follow. Goodbye, I am available for any questions.
