Terre-de-Haut Island (French pronunciation: [tɛʁ də ʔo]; Guadeloupean Creole: Tèdého; also formerly known as Petite Martinique) is the easternmost island in the Îles des Saintes, part of the archipelago of Guadeloupe.

Chameau is the property of the Conservatoire du littoral and is a protected site category IV IUCN.

In 1777 France built the defensive system Fort Napoléon des Saintes.

The British, who occupied les Saintes in 1809, kept Fort Joséphine and added water butt to it.

In 1871, Îlet à Cabrit became a place of quarantine: a lazaretto, was opened instead of the penitentiary.

The population is constituted historically by Bretons, Normans and by inhabitants of Poitou who came to fish.
