Transports en French Guiana

Couverture des transports en commun, aéroports et qualité des infrastructures pour les expatriés

French Guiana, an overseas department of France with a population of 254,541, features a transportation landscape dominated by coastal roads and private vehicles due to its vast Amazonian interior. Key strengths include the toll-free road network along RN1 and RN2, the strategic Cayenne-Félix Eboué Airport, and the newly inaugurated Yanéo BRT system enhancing urban mobility around Cayenne. Challenges involve limited public transport coverage beyond the capital, sparse inland infrastructure to protect the rainforest, and reliance on pirogues for river travel. Residents and visitors primarily use cars, taxis, or buses, with driving on the right side.
Transports en commun
En dessous de la moyenne
Infrastructure routière
Modéré
Transports en commun
4.2/10

Basic public transport centered on Agglo’bus urban network in Cayenne area and infrequent TIG interurban buses. Yanéo BRT launched in 2026 offers dedicated lanes, hybrid buses, WiFi, and stations serving 31,000 residents on two 10km lines to Matoury and Rémire-Montjoly, improving reliability but limited to coastal agglomeration.

Infrastructure routière
5.8/10

Toll-free road network focused on coastal RN1 (Cayenne to Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni) and RN2 (to Saint-Georges). Good maintenance via French funding, with new Larivot Bridge on Cayenne-Kourou route operational by 2026 boosting connectivity. Limited inland roads protect Amazon; urban conditions adequate but congestion in Cayenne.

Vitesse internet
5.1/10

Moderate broadband speeds in urban coastal areas like Cayenne, with growing fiber optic deployment via French investments. Significant rural-urban gap in Amazon interior; mobile internet supports basic connectivity.

Avg: 65.4+ Mbps • Available in Cayenne and suburbs, expanding via national fiber plan; limited in rural and inland regions

Connectivité aéroportuaire
5.6/10

22 airports total, with 2 major: Cayenne-Félix Eboué (CAY) as international gateway to Europe, Caribbean, and South America; Rochambeau secondary. Good domestic/regional links but no major global hub status; no direct airport bus, taxis/cars essential.

Hubs: Cayenne-Félix Eboué (CAY)
