Today I am taking you on a trip to the Caribbean island of Martinique (Martinique in French), an overseas territory of France, part of the European Union (in fact the local currency is the Euro).
Martinique, also called Madinina (island of flowers in the language of the Caribbean Indians) is a volcanic island located in the heart of the Antilles, very close to Saint Lucia, Dominica and Guadeloupe.
During a short 5-day stay we will visit the main tourist places on the island and try local culinary specialties such as the famous cod accras or cocktails (in a virgin version, without alcohol :-) ).
Among the main attractions we find:
Anse d’Arlet and its famous pontoon overlooking the village church
Trois-Ilets
Le Diamant and Anse Caffard (and its memorial)
Sainte-Anne
Sainte-Marie
-Le Lorrain
Fort-de-France (Fort of France): the city, its covered market, the Place de la Savanna, the Fort Saint-Louis, the Schœlcher library, the Saint Louis Cathedral.
Saint-Pierre: city largely destroyed by an eruption of the Montagne Pelée volcano.
Martinique, an island frequented by cruise ships (Costa Fortuna, MSC Seaside, among others) and many tourists, is a place that must be discovered for its nature and its magnificent beaches, as well as to discover its history and culture. It has nothing to envy or other islands in the region but with an added touch of authenticity.
The island is very well connected with daily flights to Paris, French Guyana (Cayenne), Guadeloupe (Pointe-à-Pitre) and Canada.
