Remire-Montjoly is a suburb of [[Cayenne]], the ''[[Prefectures in France|préfecture]]'' and largest city of French Guiana. It is located to the south-east of Cayenne. Residential districts spread along some of the best beaches in the Cayenne area. Cayenne and French Guiana's main seaport, the port of [[Dégrad des Cannes]], is located in the commune of Remire-Montjoly, on the [[estuary]] of the [[Mahury River]]. Almost all of French Guiana's imports and exports pass through the port of Dégrad des Cannes. The commune was originally called Remire only, but on [[March 27]], [[1969]] the name was officially changed into Remire-Montjoly to reflect the development of Montjoly, one of the two settlements located within the commune. With urban expansion, the settlements of Remire and Montjoly have now fused with Cayenne into a single urban area, although Remire-Montjoly remains a commune administratively separate from the commune of Cayenne.
