Grand'Anse (department)
Grand'Anse, or Grande Anse, is one of the ten departments (French: departments, singular department) of Haiti. Its capital is Jeremie.
Geography
The Department de la Grand'Anse has an area of 2,091 km2. It is bordered to the north by the Gulf of Gonave, to the east by the Nippes Department, to the south by the Sud Department, and by the Caribbean Sea to the west.
The Massiff de la Hotte, an important Haitian mountain range, runs from west to east along the south of the department, with the Plymouth, Macaya and Casetaches mountain ranges. Because of this, rivers here are short; some of them are Baraderes, Dame-Marie, de la Grande-Anse, de Nippes, des Roseaux and Voldrogue.
Administrative division
The department is divided into three arrondissements (like districts) and 11 communes (like municipalities). The "arrondissements" and their "communes" are:
