You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Deshaies''' (((IPA-fr|deɛ)); ((lang-gcf|label=[[Antillean Creole|Guadeloupean Creole]]|Déhé))) is a [[Commune in France|commune]] in the [[France|French]] [[overseas region]] and [[Overseas department|department]] of [[Guadeloupe]], in the [[Lesser Antilles]]. It is on the northwest coast of [[Basse-Terre Island]].

The inhabitants are called ''Deshaisiens''.

==History==
Deshaies, and its [[littoral]] zone of the Large Cape, preserve the vestiges of the primitive vegetation of Guadeloupe at the time of [[Christopher Columbus]]'s arrival on November 4, 1493. The deepest bay of all the Caribbean coast and best naturally protected, it was used as shelter to the adventurers of [[Pirate|pirates]] and other corsairs, and there is said to be treasure on the island.

In 1635, colonists landed at Allègre point, at the north end of the island. This part of the coast is very damp; Deshaies is an integral part of a wooded territory extending from Pointe Noire to Baie-Mahault.

On the site of the current borough was the plantation of Potherie, one of the greatest fortunes of the island in 1686. Ten years later, in 1696, the sugar plantations fell victim to the English corsairs.

The geographical configuration makes traveling to the district difficult, so inhabitants formed their own community, including their own militia. The borough was given two cannons on April 1, 1730, and established as a community by the will of the governor in 1732. The church was consecrated on June 29, 1733, and dedicated to Saint Pierre and Saint Paul. Deshaies was disorganized economically by [[Victor Hugues]]' conquest and the abolition of slavery. The majority of her inhabitants had taken up arms for the revolution, but the island remained in the hands of the royalists.

The 19th-century [[Napoleon]]ic era was not good for Deshaies because it was the zone in which a Caribbean empire developed. Its distance from the chief town (Basse-Terre) made Deshaies vulnerable despite its strategic position. After the naval battle in the bay between French and British on September 5, 1803, the borough and the coastal properties of the vicinity were devastated by the British. The war combined with [[malaria]], which was endemic in the area, made people disinclined to live there.

Thirty years later, four years after the abolition of [[slavery]], there remained only one sugar plantation, Guyonneau, belonging to the Caillou family.

The commune in 1852 saw periods of tensions. The opposition between Caillou and the black farmers of his plantation, who were supported by the priest of the parish, Lettre, became the working class struggle against the wealthy classes, and of the religious authority against the administrative authority.

The government of the colony, the Minister for the Navy and the Colonies, feared Deshaies would not support him and maintained correspondence with his superiors. Once law and order had been returned, the ministry ordered the deportation of the priest. The ministry created a police station squad maintained by the governor in 1877, despite the refusal of the Council General. Between the time slavery was abolished and the [[Second World War]], lack of education remained the principal obstacle to the development of this community. Appointment to the civil or religious administration of Deshaies was regarded as a disgrace to the person so appointed. Deshaies remained insulated and marginalized. There has been a road connecting the chief towns of the leeward shore since 1922, but it ended in Pointe Noire, the commune bordering Deshaies. The road was extended to Deshaies only in 1957.

The current [[mayor]] is [[Jeanny Marc]].

==Geography==
Deshaies is located on the leeward northwest coast of [[Basse-Terre Island]] and is secluded in a bay, where two headlands stick out. Deshaies' coordinates are 16° 18 ' N & 61° 48 'W. The mountain range is east while the Caribbean Sea is west.
It includes Kahouanne, an uninhabited islet of 1,500 metres from the coast. It is about ((convert|0.541|km2|abbr=on)) in area and is a protected site.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.conservatoire-du-littoral.fr/siteLittoral/575/28-ilet-kahouanne-971_guadeloupe.htm|title=ILET KAHOUANNE - Conservatoire du littoral|publisher=|accessdate=20 July 2016))</ref>

===Climate===
Like any other Eastern Caribbean town, Deshaies experiences quite evenly spread rainfall during the year, with a wetter season between July and November which coincides with hurricane season. The town receives 1500–2500&nbsp;mm (60–100&nbsp;in) of rainfall. Tropical heat is the norm, bringing constant highs of around 32&nbsp;°C (89&nbsp;°F) that drop to 20&nbsp;°C (68&nbsp;°F) at night.

Trade winds, called ''alizés'', blow from the northeast and often temper the climate.

Mixed crops are grown such as vanilla, sugar, coffee, cocoa and bananas. Fishing is an important industry where different types of fish can be bought at the mini-market.

Tourism is booming and hotels and restaurants are located nearby. There is a craft industry where wooden souvenirs can be purchased in shops. Aggregate extraction is done.

Since 2011, Deshaies, and many of its businesses, have become the main filming location of the TV series ''[[Death in Paradise (TV series)|Death in Paradise]]''.<ref>((in lang|fr)) [http://www.guadeloupe.franceantilles.fr/loisirs/une-tv-mag/meurtre-au-paradis-l-industrie-du-cinema-teste-la-guadeloupe-16-09-2011-138871.php ''Meurtre au paradis.

==Tourism and sights==
Deshaies was the first village of [[Club Med]] intended for exclusively American customers (currently the Langley Resort Hotel Fort Royal Guadeloupe). This resort is the only hotel on the island of Basse Terre which is directly located on the beach.

The late French comedian [[Coluche]]'s house, which dominated bay of Deshaies, has been transformed into botanical park. [[Robert Charlebois]] (Québécois singer) had his house towards Grand-Anse beach, the largest beach of Guadeloupe.

The music video for "[[Parti pour zouker]]" by the French artist [[Lorie (singer)|Lorie]] was shot on a beach of Deshaies.<ref>Lorie' s music videos [http://www.just-lorie.net/home.php?page=clipographie Just-Lorie.net] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080418131239/http://www.just-lorie.net/home.php?page=clipographie |date=2008-04-18 )) (Retrieved May 22, 2008)</ref>
French singer Barone shot a video on the beach at Hotel Fort Royal in 2014.

Deshaies has become well known because, as the fictional town of [[Saint Marie (fictional island)|Honoré]], it is the setting of the British-French crime [[comedy-drama]] television series [[Death in Paradise (TV series)|''Death in Paradise'']].
