Hi Rachel, love the show and am planning a visit this year 2024. So glad that I landed on your site as it’s extremely informative at the same time as being easy to read – a real joy. Cheers!

My wife and I another couple sailed into Deshaies 26 years ago from Antigua. Spent a couple of days there.

Dined in the restaurant on the beach, hired a local who spoke some English and traveled to the Parc National de la Guadaloupe and beyond through the sugar cane fields and return

In reply to Line. Isn't it a lovely place? I hope to get back there next year and spend a bit more time in that corner of the island. I watch the show every week, eying that perfect scenery...

My husband and i watch the show all the time. We are from Canada and we just came back from a 9 days trip to Guadeloupe. We went to Deshaies and went to see a few places where they filmed Death in Paradise, it was pretty cool to see them in real life. We even had lunch in Catherine’s bar by the ocean!

In reply to Karsten Bogun. Haha! Thank you! I'll have to re-watch that one; I didn't remember any of them taking place in the cemetery!

The show is presently re-run on German TV. In Season 2, Episode 3, a scene plays in the cemetery, offering the vital clue (sorry for the pun)….

In reply to John. Glad you liked it! Every single person I spoke to there in any capacity was warm and friendly and welcoming. My Airbnb host went out of his way to show me off-the-beaten-path sights. I think I would have enjoyed Guadeloupe with or without the show, but it certainly added to my visit to Deshaies in particular. I was there in April.

Rachel,
This post was awesome, thank you! My wife and I love the show and have often talked about visiting there. Did you get a sense of the people there? Did they enjoy the tourism/tourists as a result of the show? Also what time of year did you visit?
Thank you!
