Martinique is truly a little bit of France in the Caribbean. It exudes a distinctly French feeling in the excellence of its Caribbean cuisine, the beauty of its language, the grace of its streets and gardens. With all that is French inspired, Martinique has a cachet all its own, an endearing West Indian warmth in its personality, a special spice in its Caribbean music and dance, its local dishes and its way of life.
Fort-de-France, the capital is fascinating to explore on foot. Among the sightseeing attractions are the city¹s architectural masterpieces, beautiful gardens, Cathedral and markets. The town of St-Pierre is less than an hour from the capitial and worth the scenic drive. Visit the site of the Mont Pelee Volcano eruption from 1902.
Those with a discerning palate will appreciate the marriage of two cuisines-French and Creole. The combination is nothing less than magical.
Food definitely sets Martinique apart from the other Caribbean islands. The island¹s love affair with good food is a gastronomic adventure and as the locals dine out often as a matter of course, visitors to Martinique have one of the widest choices of restaurants in the Caribbean.
Combine a beautiful beach holiday with an unforgettable cultural experience on the island of Martinique.
