Grenada (i/ɡrᵻˈneɪdə/; French: La Grenade) is an island country consisting of Grenada itself and six smaller islands at the southern end of the Grenadines in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. Grenada is located northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, northeast of Venezuela, and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Grenada is also known as the "Island of Spice" because of the production of nutmeg and mace crops, of which it is one of the world's largest exporters. Its size is 344 square kilometres (133 sq mi), with an estimated population of 110,000. Its capital is St. George's. The national bird of Grenada is the critically endangered Grenada dove.
In 1649 a French expedition of 203 men from Martinique led by Jacques du Parquet founded a permanent settlement on Grenada. Within months this led to conflict with the local islanders which lasted until 1654 when the island was completely subjugated by the French. Those indigenous islanders who survived either left for neighbouring islands or retreated to remoter parts of Grenada where they were marginalised—the last distinct communities disappeared during the 1700s.

Chant religieux! Chant Catholique Refrain : Tiens ma lampe allumée, la flamme est si fragile, Ce soir je viens mendier ton pain, ton eau, ton huile. Tiens ma lampe allumée jusqu'à ton domicile, Toi seul, peut me guider. 1.- Allume dans mon cœur quelque chose de vrai, Quelque chose de Toi, que rien ne puisse éteindre, Ni l'échec, ni la peur, ni le poids des années Et que puisse mon pas chercher à te rejoindre. 2.- Allume dans mes yeux quelque chose de pur, Quelque chose de Toi que rien ne puisse éteindre, Ni le poids du présent, ni l'avenir peu sûr, Et que dans mon regard ta clarté vienne poindre. 3.- Allume dans mes mains quelque chose de doux, Quelque chose de Toi que rien ne puisse éteindre De petit, de discret, de brûlant, d'un peu fou, Et que puissent mes ...
Grenada Travel Video Guide - Christopher Columbus discovered Grenada in 1498. The island was already inhabited by the Carib Indians, who had migrated from the South American mainland, killing or enslaving the peaceful Arawaks who were already inhabitants there. The Amerindians called their island Camerhogue, but Columbus renamed it Concepción. However, travelling Spanish sailors found its lush green hills so evocative of Andalusia that they rejected this name in favor of Granada. Over the centuries, although control of the island passed from France to Britain (and briefly back to France again), the name endured with just the slightest of alterations, changing from "Granada" to "La Grenade" to "Grenada". The French were the first to settle and travel to Grenada. Legend holds that in 1652 ...

In the black on a night long past
The fates of many in death was cast
A pact of blood, life gone awry
Destiny waits, the man chose to die
A soul in torment cannot rest alone
Freedom never will be shown ...show me!
To take thine own life is never to pass
Rendered final penance, tranquility cannot last...no!
So come hither to Purgatory’s child
Flaming embers burning ild
A ghastly essence, come take my side
I consume your soul
You can feel the ebbing tide
Draining lifeblood feeds his blackened core
Bound in service nevermore
So my spirit can now rest in peace
