Workation in Kourou: the essentials
Rockets are the whole story of Kourou. The town grew rapidly after France chose this stretch of Atlantic coast for the Guiana Space Centre in the 1960s, and it is still the launch site for Europe's Ariane rockets. Between launches it is a quiet, planned place of residential blocks and rotating engineering teams, and boats leave from here for the Îles du Salut, site of the old Devil's Island penal colony. Cayenne's airport is about 50 km away. There is little else to do beyond the beach and the visitor tours of the space centre, and you will need a car to get around.
