==Economy== [[File:P1011741.JPG|thumb|Direction départementale de l'Agriculture et de la Forêt (Office of Departmental Service for Forests and Agriculture)]] Cayenne is an important seaport in South America. The major port of [[Dégrad des Cannes]] is on the [[estuary]] of the river [[Mahury]], replacing Larivot and the [[Îles du Salut]]. [[Timber]], rosewood essence, rum, and gold are exported in small quantities. In the mid-1960s [[sugarcane]] and pineapple were planted around the city, and a pineapple [[cannery]] and a shrimp-processing plant were later built. A seafront avenue links Cayenne with the suburbs of Chaton and Montabo, where the French Institute of Tropical America and the Pasteur Institute are located. Historic landmarks include the Church of the Holy Saviour and a prefecture on the Place d'Armes. The [[Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport|Félix Eboué International Airport]] is the only international airport serving Cayenne.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Cayenne|title=Cayenne {{!}} French Guiana|newspaper=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=2016-12-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220233339/https://www.britannica.com/place/Cayenne|archive-date=20 December 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> [[File:Trompeoeilcayenne.JPG|left|thumb|Trompe-l'œil mural at the Carrefour Suzini]]
