New members of the Guadeloupe forum, introduce yourselves here - 2025

Hello and Happy New Year to you all! My name is Sophie and I am French and American.i lived in Paris the first half of my life, and I’ve been living in Florida for the second half. I am relocating to Guadeloupe in the summer. I am planning on getting a place in St. Francois, as I’ve been there several times (i’m a scuba diver) but I am curious about life in Le Gosier: I gathered from this site that it seems to have more of an English-speaking community (but more traffic!). If anyone who is familiar with both places has any input, I’d love to get your perspective. Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hopefully meet some of you in the near future!

@Bhavna thanks for the info, I’ll put my request there tomorrow.

Hi,

we are a German family with a 14year old boy. We lived in the US for 19 years and   are in the process to move to Guadeloupe. My question is about schools. He will be in 9th grade after the summer. He speaks German and English fluently. Starting to learn French. Which schools or area is best for Expat kids which still need to learn the language in school? Would love to hear from families which had similar aged kids when moved to beautiful Guadeloupe. German or English/US ;-)

Best,Timo
