      Great video !
      Yet you forgot some importants place to visit while in French Guiana :
      The Marais de Kaw (Its a Marshland Nature Reserve with mangrove forests, savannas, and tropical rainforests. This is the largest wetland of France);
      The Guianan Carnival (who is the most important annual event in the region);
      The Voltaire falls (the biggest in the region)
      And I wanted to add that the Devil’s Island is part of the Salvation Islands…

    Spent 8 weeks in Kourou working for Boeing.
    The food is sketchy in most places.
    The people are really nice for the most part.
    Stay away from the Saramaka Village at night.
    The trip to Isla DeSalut (Devil's Island) is amazing.
    Did it twice.

      Right.
      Almost everything costs 30% more than in metropolitan France because it's all imported.

    The lighthouse you mentioned is actually in Kourou, not on a island.
    Also for the monkey trail, you should mention that the hut on top of the hill is infested with spiders.
    Not dangerous, but big ones that might scare some people away.
    Kourou is about an hour away from Caynenne.
    And always keep the year cycle in mind.
    In the rain season, its not that nice obv.
    The space centres museum is closed at the moment until the end of 23.
    The are free guided tours on the space centre available, but you have to register 48 hours before.
    Not two days, but actually 48hrs...

      You have to realise how remote and wild French Guyana is, it's almost entirely amazon rainforest this isn' the everglades here..., making it isolated from not only mainland France but also much of south America's economic centers.It's absolutely nothing like Florida, although it kinda use to be in a way since France colonized Florida with the Spanish interestingly enough.

      Heureusement que la France est là sinon la situation serait 1000 fois pire : cela ressemblerait à Haïti
      Faite un référendum il y aurait 95% pour rester une collectivité territoriale française.
      En Guyanne personne ne vie sous une dictature, le principal problème c'est l'insécurité venant des clandestins venant du Brésil et du Suriname et c'est vrai il y a trop de pauvreté et d'inégalité cela va être difficile à résoudre.
