Rent a holiday apartment in Cayenne

Anyone looking to rent a holiday apartment or holiday home in Cayenne is looking for more than just a place name. Cayenne is the capital of French Guiana, located on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Cayenne River, thereby combining an urban and coastal setting. For a stay focused on historical, cultural and local culinary impressions, Cayenne itself is the decisive geographical reference.

Key facts

• Cayenne is a French commune and the capital of French Guiana.
• Cayenne is located on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Cayenne River.
• The built-up area of Cayenne extends beyond the commune boundaries.

City, coast and local impressions

The capital and coastal location highlight two sides of Cayenne: its urban character and its geographical connection to the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Cayenne River. The local culinary scene is associated with food stalls in public squares and specialities such as Bami, Nassi and regional juices. This means that a stay in Cayenne can also be planned around local flavours and public places.

Cayenne itself or the wider urban area?

The commune of Cayenne and the wider built-up area are not the same; the built-up area extends beyond the commune boundaries. Anyone wanting to experience Cayenne as a city should therefore distinguish Cayenne itself from accommodation in the wider metropolitan area. For an urban setting, accommodation in Cayenne itself is the appropriate geographical category; properties in the wider metropolitan area are not automatically part of the city of Cayenne.

Arrival: read Cayenne and Matoury separately

Cayenne-Rochambeau Airport is located in Matoury and therefore outside the commune of Cayenne. If arrival logistics are particularly important to your travel planning, you can compare Cayenne itself with the airport area in Matoury as different locations.

Plan your travel period around rainfall phases

Temperatures in Cayenne are warm all year round; the seasons differ more in terms of rainfall. If rainfall phases are important for your travel plans, take this difference into account when choosing your travel period.
