About Habitation La Grivelière
Habitation La Grivelière developed as a coffee plantation in the mountains of Basse-Terre during the eighteenth century, one of many estates established under French colonial rule in Guadeloupe. Enslaved Africans worked its terraced coffee groves and drying facilities under the plantation economy that dominated the island. It exemplified the colonial agricultural system that shaped Guadeloupe's economy and society for generations.
