Sinnamary (French pronunciation: [sinamaʁi]; French Guianese Creole: Sennmari) is a town and commune on the coast of French Guiana, between Kourou and Iracoubo. Sinnamary was the second French settlement founded in French Guiana: the town was founded in 1664.[3]
Sinnamary lies on the Sinnamary River and is home to the Guianan Soyuz launch site. In 1792, the first prison for priests and political enemies was constructed in Sinnamary. The town contains an Indonesian community,[4] as well as a Galibi Amerindian community.[5] Both communities produce artwork and jewellery that can be purchased.[4] The main hotel in Sinnamary is the Hôtel du Fleuve.[6]
