Your guide will take you on a scenic drive along the magnificent beach where the Inspector’s house aka “shack” is set up every year during the filming period. Your guide will describe the scenes filmed on this site and the difficult shooting environment for the actors.
Your guide will then take you to the botanical garden in the village of Deshaies, also known as Village Honoré. During this free one-hour visit, you’ll also have the chance to feed the animals present!
You will continue your excursion with a visit to Port Honoré, where all the scenes linked to the departure or arrival of a boat, or referring to a port, were filmed. Your guide will take you on a walking tour of the historic centre of Honoré village, where you’ll discover various filming locations: the church, Catherine’s first bar, gift shops, etc. You’ll learn about the constraints of filming and what goes on behind the scenes.
Your guide then will take you to the Honoré police station for a photo stop. This is the only permanent filming location dedicated exclusively to this crime series. Your guide will explain the history of the site and the role it plays in the series. If it is open on the day of your visit, you are welcome to take some time to explore it. Visits are usually permitted from December to April. You will pay on site for the ticket (€15 or$20).
The walking tour will end at the Catehrine’s Bar where your guide will give you an introduction of this site.
After this stop at the Catherine’s Bar, you will have 2 options:
1.Lunch at Catherine’s Bar: To ensure you have the most enjoyable experience possible, the menu will be sent to you by email so that you can order in advance and save time on the day. We will then book a table for the group. Lunch is not included in the price.
- Free time to explore Honoré Village at your leisure: For around 60 minutes, you can simply have a drink at the bar (Catherine’s Bar is closed on Wednesdays), relax on the small beach next to the bar, or go for a short stroll. If you’d like to have a drink at Catherine’s Bar, please note that we cannot guarantee you a table, as reservations are only available for lunch. You’ll simply need to find a seat when you arrive.
After lunch or your free time, your guide will take you on a scenic drive along the coast, and your driver will stop so you can admire the breathtaking views. At the next stop, you’ll also enjoy a stunning view of a hotel complex, a recurring filming location for the series and the place where the film crews stay.
After this stop, it will be time to board your minibus for the return journey to the cruise terminal in Pointe-à-Pitre.
