Habitation Grande Maison

Habitation Grande Maison occupies a restored colonial-era habitation property in Trois-Rivières, a commune at the southern tip of Basse-Terre island. The property sits approximately 1 kilometre from the Trois-Rivières ferry dock, from which regular boats make the 30-minute crossing to Les Saintes — the small archipelago offshore that draws visitors for its French fishing-village character, clear snorkelling bays, and calm pace. The habitation building reflects the traditional plantation architecture of the French Antilles: wide covered galleries, louvred shutters, and a symmetrical Creole garden layout frame the central structures. Garden rooms occupy the main building; bungalows are distributed through the grounds, each with a private terrace and views across the garden plantings. A swimming pool sits within the garden, and breakfast is served on the terrace each morning. Trois-Rivières has a modest seafront, a handful of Creole restaurants on the esplanade, and the Parc Archéologique des Roches Gravées — a pre-Columbian Arawak rock-carving site that is among the more accessible archaeological attractions in the French Antilles, located a 10-minute walk from the town centre. The southern Basse-Terre coast and Basse-Terre city are both accessible by car within 25 to 40 minutes, and La Soufrière is reachable in under an hour. The property attracts couples and independent travellers drawn to the historic architecture, the proximity to Les Saintes, and the quieter pace of southern Basse-Terre compared to the busier Grande-Terre resort strip.
