Kourou & Devil's Island, French Guiana — Europe's spaceport sits beside the jungle-covered penal-colony islands that once held Papillon, now reachable by a short boat ride.
Watch a rocket launch or tour the Guiana Space Centre, then boat out to the Salvation Islands to walk the ruins of the old penal colony among monkeys and coconut palms.
