French Guiana, officially France’s department (a curious upgrade from a colony) is lush and packed with exceptionally attractive people. In addition to that, there is well maintained tropical French architecture, excellent coffee and bread, and incredible Caribbean vibe where music is played in the streets and people hop discretely.

Cayenne, the capital, is a pretty and relaxed town with a good collection of colonial architecture and super attractive central square planted with tall graceful palm trees.
