OverviewEarly History and Culture of French Guiana. A Travel guide for Tourism.

The principal religious affiliation is Christianity (primarily Roman Catholicism), adhered to by more than four-fifths of the population. The populace is concentrated principally in and around Cayenne, the largest city, and the coastal regions; the interior is largely uninhabited.
