On new paths in Grande Terre

The search for new filming locations began in the second season. Larger hotel complexes are rare on the mountainous part of the island, as are gourmet restaurants. The traffic jams in the urbanisation zone of Pointe-à-Pitre are really annoying and the drive from Sainte Rose to Gosier is not really one of the most beautiful panoramic routes. However, as filming always starts very early anyway, the actors have already driven past by this time. In the south of Grande Terre, with its well-known seaside resorts of Gosier, Sainte-Anne and Saint Francois, filming took place in almost every season, while the less well-known west coast had to wait almost 10 years before it was considered. But Sergeant Naomi Thomas wasn't there from the start either. 

The Hotel Fort Royal is one of the most frequent filming locations in the series. It is marketed by the hotel chain Des hôtels et des îles. This small Caribbean brand also owns two larger hotels on Grande Terre, which also appear in the series. It is astonishing that the ‘Maison Zevallos’ has not yet been filmed, as this ‘haunted’ colonial house is one of the highlights of Guadeloupe's iron construction style. In Port Louis, where the Plage du Souffleur is located, the 12th season of the series Saint Barnabas was filmed.

Dwayne Myers und Marlon Price sind im Weihnachtsspecial  der 11. Staffel auf der Suche nach Zelda Moncrief. Bei tropischem Unwetter in der Fußgängerzone und am Hafen von Pointe-à-Pitre war das ganze  recht stressig. Kurze Zeit später konnte die Dame, nach einem von den Beamten nicht angenommen Cocktailangebot, dennoch per Zufall verhaftet werden und nach Sainte Marie zurückgebracht werden.

Dwayne Myers and Marlon Price are on the search for Zelda Moncrief in the Christmas special of season 11. With a tropical storm in the pedestrian zone and at the harbour of Pointe-à-Pitre, the whole thing was quite stressful. A short time later, the lady was arrested by chance and brought back to Sainte Marie after a cocktail offer was not accepted by the officers.
