The capital city of the former French penal colony French Guiana, Cayenne now exists as a diverse blend of Haitian, Brazilian, European and Asian cultures. It is renowned for its yearly carnival, which begins on the first Sunday after New Year's Day and continues with all-night costume balls and weekly parades until Mardi Gras, and for the hot pepper to which it gives its name.
