Cayenne
French Guiana
This coastal capital of French Guiana sits where the Cayenne River meets the Atlantic, with a walkable centre that packs in a dense food-and-drink scene and several historic churches. The largest Francophone city in South America, it functions as an important seaport and regional hub, with hills rising behind the town and the ocean at its edge.
