Lonely Planet review

In central Cayenne, the fascinating Musée Départemental features a frighteningly large stuffed black caiman, as well as other preserved local critters, an ethnobotanical display, and an airconditioned 'butterfly room,' easily missed because it is poorly marked.

The upstairs area recaptures life in the old penal colony and displays some Amerindian handicrafts.
