Saül is a commune of French Guiana, an overseas "région" and "département" of France located in South America.

It is very remote, surrounded by dense rainforest and, because there are no roads to the town, it can only be reached by airplane.

The principal activities in the town are gold mining and trekking through the many rainforest trails. There is a tourist camp (Larozaly) and hotel (Les Eaux Claires) in the town.
