Thanks for sharing this walk. I spent nearly 2 years of my life here (10 years ago). This walk was like a time machine for an interesting time in my life.
@leonardodelfino3230 lots of crime. White people aren't safe on tje beaches at night. There's a place called little chicago there you'll want to avoid. Lots of poverty as well. But if you know where to go and enjoy the outdoors during the day it's great.
26:28 Finally a Brazilian car !!! This video really confirms the results of a recent survey that shows a quite interesting fact : out of 2000 cars that cross the Franco-Brazilian Binational Bridge monthly only 5 are from Brazil. And at the end of the day, this is all due to the fact that we (Brazilians) gotta have a visa (which we can't come by so easily) and we also have to pay around 700 BRL in taxes and international insurance to cross the bridge by car. Meanwhile, the French people can easily cross the Brazilian border by only paying a small insurance fee. Tbh that kinda makes me feel like we're not really welcome in French Guiana (don't get me wrong, it's not about the locals, but rather the French government) and that all of these hindrances that prevents us from visiting it were designed to keep French Guiana out of Brazil's cultural influence... It sucks that things are like this.
French Guyana is expencive, Gas, accommodation, food... Everything. People are friendly and willing to help tourists.. Really not much to see or do. Steve
Well, it's indeed beneficial to maintain a distinct French Guianese culture. Don't misunderstand me - your culture is incredibly diverse and fantastic. However, preserving the uniqueness of French Guiana's culture holds greater significance. Brazil boasts a vast population of 214 million people, whereas French Guiana is home to just 294 thousand individuals. Simplifying access for Brazilians could potentially alter French Guiana's culture and linguistic identity entirely.
@@nanananana4373 7 months later and I must admit that I completely changed my views on this topic and I completely agree with what you just said. It's a matter of protecting the culture and the traditions of a small population, which already holds the disadvantage of being located so far away from the 'mainland France'. It has nothing to do with showing disregard for the Brazilian culture or something like that, which's what the more close-minded me from 7 months ago used to think 🤦♂️
The walk takes place in the city center of Cayenne. In this area, there are only one or two traffic lights, and as many streets are one-way, priority on the right is sufficient to manage traffic. There are a few more traffic lights outside this area, but also, as always in France, a lot of roundabouts, but outside the downtown.
@@allthis701c est la France c est donc l Europe j ai vécu 3 ans en Guyane et c est vrai que ça peut paraître bizarre pour certains mais les français ont l habitude de ses contrastes avec nos territoires d outre mer
It’s a nation owned by a European nation, it’s not in Europe. How are people this dumb? To your and their logic that’s like saying before every NATION THAT GOT COLONIZED such as almost the entirety of Africa is geographically part of Europe.
not much have change since i have left 20 yrs ago. one of the high end jewelry [ho a sim ] is closed i notice. the optician store still exist where i have been buying the original Ray-Ban sunglasses . wonder if they have the same owner wich i've known.
These small city really don't change much. Traffic is horrendous at peak hours and parking is a nightmare in the city. I did like the people very much.
Found out there is a place called French Guinana, when I saw a Windows 11 screen lock photo. Had to google it, see videos. This walking video is great introduction to the city of Cayenne. Im sure I will never get an opportunity to visit there, so glad we have this thing called TH-cam. One could virtually visit almost any part of the world :D
Bonjour je suis français j ai vécu 3 ans en Guyane le principale intérêt de la Guyane c est don positionnement géographique ce qui permet a la France d avoir sa plus grande frontière terrestre avec le Bresil et le positionnement de la Guyane sur l Équateur en fait une base spatiale ideal ( a Kourou rien avoir avec Cayenne)
@@worldwalkingtours2397 I had lived for six years there... yes, it is really the middle of nowhere! And it is made worse by the fact that there are no good road or air connections with neighboring countries (with the exception of Suriname). To go to Rio de Janeiro, you have to go through Paris!
@@nicolas2419why can't you get an air connection to macapá or Belem and then go to rio de janeiro? i have been in this two cities and both of then have a lot of french guyana citizens in their airports
@@anapbritoap When I was in french Guyana, you were able to fly to Macapa, but with an airline that didn't offer flight from there to Rio or São Paulo and you had only one flight per week. I knew someone who was blocked in Macapa because his flight to Macapa was delayed and when he arrived, it was too late for the next flight and he had to do the trip to Cayenne by bus. Now, I saw that Air France also propose one flight per week to Belem, maybe that allows a better connection with a Brazilian airlines which works with Air France.
Husband: honey im going to paris! Wife: oh so have fun at the eiffel tower! Husband: im going to the amazon rainforest part of france Yeah french guiana has a piece of the amazon rainforest in it
There are only 301k people living in french Guyana, on an area of about 1/6 of the French European Mainland where more than 60 million people live, it's quite empty yes. And for the cars, they all have to be imported from Europe, and mainly France, hence why lots of French and German Cars following the same tendencies as European France.
I live in french Guiana and I can tell you why it seems empty... The area this video shows us is the city center and in this area you have "La place des palmistes" with the big palm trees and "Le marché de Cayenne" which is a hundred meters away from "Place des palmistes". "La place des palmistes" is especially busy at night from 7pm to midnight (sometimes later) it's a place where you can afford food, meet new people, hang out with your friends and enjoy the amusement parks around (self tempering). It's the one of the most, if not the most known place of the Capital which is Cayenne. "Le marché de Cayenne" is an event happening on Wednesday and Saturday. Plus in this place you can found all the different nationalities living in the country (french, Guianese, guyanian, surinamian, Chinese, Peruvian, Brazilian, Haitian, Jamaican and so much more...) This event is an opportunity to buy fruits and vegetables only available in South America.
Where in cayenne can I go for registration? I am a French man and I look for a social service where I can find a house to live in... I am currently living in Suriname but I want to migrate to Cayenne or a town nearby... Good evening...
It is , just avoid a close neighborhood named “Chicago” it has a very bad reputation and for reasons that seem to be good ! Other than that life is very relaxed here 🙂👍🏾
C'est clairement pas le bel endroit de la planète. J'y ai vécu six ans. J'en ai gardé de bons souvenirs et ce fut une bonne expérience. La population est globalement sympathique, la vie plutôt tranquille. Moi, j'ai fini par partir à cause de la chaleur humide quasi-permanente et de l'isolement de la région.
The black French are super friendly people, they are willing to help you. Not much too do there in French Guyana, it's very expensive but has amazing wildlife.
@@worldwalkingtours2397Quem disse que o território é da França se a população resolver se livrar da colonização francesa e se tornar um país livre???? A França não faz parte da América do Sul
@@tttdilminha8669There was a process at the end of WW2 and they decided to stay French, part of France. They could have asked for a autonomous or semi autonomous status, but decided to be fully a region of France, at the same level than Normandy. They have the social health care, and almost free / cheap university etc. They are receiving much more money from the state than what they contribute. And they also have a unique culture and mix of people that is totally different than brasil. You need to acknowledge the will of the local people. It is their will that matters. Your feelings as a foreigner from this land are not to enter the debate.
Doubt it. They have a culture and a mix of people that is different form brasil. They never recognized any brasilian feeling (even less US 😅). The debate after WW2 was whether they wanted independence, or not. And if they stayed French, what status they would have (autonomous/ semi autonomous/ fully part of France ). They choosed the latter : to become a region of France (same than Burgondy or Normandy). I would also add that they receive much more money from the state and the EU than what they contribute. They have healthcare system, cheap university, social help etc. They can go wherever they want in the EU. The costs and risks to become independant would be huge and there is no local support for it. I don’t mention being a US state or brasilian state because they would NEVER acknowledge as US or Brazil citizens. That is a ludicrous idea for them. Their culture and their past is too different.😅😂
One more place conquered by france and abandoned as many colonies before...most of young people smuggling cocaine bringing to france because of the poverty and lack of opportunities in french guyana
Life is suppose to be relaxing. Just because a country is “poor” doesn’t make it bad. Humans weren’t put on earth with mansions built out of thin air, there was nothing but trees and grass. Most of the world isn’t part of the weird “work to live, live to work” hustle culture of American society. The reason America is like that is because their capitalist system is built on the foundation of slavery.
Eu acho que o Brasil deve começar a olhar para esse pequeno pedaço de terra em sua fronteira e começar a estimular o sentimento anti-colonialismo nesse Territorio para se tornar um país independente da França igual esta acontecendo no Niger, o interesse da França nesse territorio é interesse economico somente, principalmente relacionado a Amazonia
Independencia? Adoraría que o Brasil ainda fosse parte de Portugal. Hoje seríamos europeus igual ao da povo da Guiana. Independência para que!? Para sermos pobres o tempo todo?!
@@alexandrelourenco5179Quando falavam que brasileiro pagava um pau do crlh pra europeu eu não acreditava, mas olhando esses comentários percebi que é verdade, se um europeu colocar uma bota suja de lama o brasileiro lambe ela todinha até ficar limpa.
African people are most populous on the eastern ends of the Americas and the Caribbean due to the fact that millions of them arrived and settled hundreds of years before Columbus. Eastern end is closest to west Africa. But in American history, they wrongfully teach that all of these people were bought on a slave ship 😂. The fact that Americans believe that story is very telling
Maybe because it is retard&d? It's in South America, it looks like any South America country, what did you expected? Those old sh!t buildings that Europe has?
Typical American, going around saying that any country that doesn’t have unnecessarily tall buildings and has a more relaxed lifestyle is a “3rd world” country. No, this is what the real world looks like. Most of the world isn’t consumed by this weird “work to live, live to work” that Americans are obsessed with. Life is suppose to be relaxing.

By day, except very few places, most of the city is safe. But in the area of this walk, no serious risk.
