Exuding a distinctly French ambience – it is an Overseas Department of France -- Martinique’s way of life, music, and cuisine make it a unique travel destination.

 A rugged and mountainous island of volcanic origin, Martinique’s economy today rests upon agriculture – sugar, rum, bananas – and tourism.

 The capital of Fort-de-France presents the visitor with lovely gardens, colorful markets, parks and architectural gems. Here you will see the statue honoring Napolean’s Empress Josephine who was born nearby.

 Outside of Fort-de-France is St. Pierre, the “Paris of the West Indies” as it was called, which was completely destroyed by an eruption of Mt. Pelee in 1902.

 Driving through the interior, you will come across groves of avocados, verdant fields of sugar cane, and orchards of tropical fruit surrounding small charming inns.

 Sailing and fishing are ideal in Martinique.  Golfers will enjoy the 18-hole Robert Trent Jones course at Trois Ilets.  Tennis, diving, hiking, and horseback riding are readily available.

 As expected, the visitor to Martinique will enjoy superb French gormet cuisine and drink.
