The best of Martinique

 

Customs, cultures and a whole lot of spice

Fort-de-France, capital of Martinique, is located on a magnificent bay bordered by superb fine sand beaches. The city boasts several green spaces, notably La Savane where you’ll find the Statue of Empress Josephine, an emblematic figure in Martinique. Whether you’re exploring the Spice Market, on a shopping spree or walking around the Old Town, you’ll discover the history of Fort-de-France in every nook and cranny. Places that stand out include Schoelcher Library, the Archaeology Museum and St. Louis Cathedral.


Not to be missed

  • Les Salines: A gorgeous stretch of golden sand on the undeveloped southern tip of the island, Les Salines is arguably Martinique’s most splendid beach.

  • La Savane: A superb, tropical 12½-acre park with fountains and shaded benches.

  • Markets: The Fish Market, Farmers’ Market, Spice Market, Craft Market and Big Market are great places with great finds.

  • Fort-de-France: Marries Gallic culture with Caribbean customs, Fort-de-France is quaint, feisty and charmingly French. Tropical white sands and waterfront dining make Martinique’s largest city a great point of departure for any holiday here.
