Port Louis is a small coastal town located in Guadeloupe, an archipelago in the Caribbean that forms an overseas region of France. The town is situated on the island of Basse-Terre, the western of Guadeloupe's two main islands.
As a port settlement, Port Louis serves as a local maritime hub for the surrounding area. Like many communities in Guadeloupe, it reflects the island's French colonial heritage and Creole culture, with French as the primary language and the euro as the currency.
