Martinique
Fort-de-France
French café culture under a volcano.
Parisian patisserie and rhum agricole against a rainforest and a volcanic cone.
Fort-de-France is France set down in the tropics, markets of spice and cut flowers, patisseries, and historic rhum agricole distilleries beneath the rainforest and the brooding silhouette of Mont Pelée. The Schoelcher Library is a wrought-iron marvel shipped from Paris. South of the city, Les Salines is among the Caribbean's loveliest beaches.
