Visit Fort de France, Martinique
|
|
Fort de France is the capital of Martinique , and has over 100 000 inhabitants. The city is located in the center of the island on the Caribbean coast at the foot of Bluff Carbet. Created in the seventeenth century, the town of Fort Royal was renamed Fort de France. We get up early in Martinique to escape the heat. If you are staying outside Fort de France, avoid rush hours to get into the city, traffic jams are especially important! Fort de France is a coastal city, there is no ring road and bypass is difficult despite the D41 2x2 channels.

The fort of Fort de France: Fort St. Louis
Fort St. Louis is the oldest monument of Fort de France, today it houses a naval base ... and many iguanas! The fort is again open to visitors - a tour only - which was not the case some years ago. This construction Vauban offers a superb view over the city.

Markets at Fort de France
A must see! Especially the Spice Market, very typical in the heart of the city. The building housing the market dates from 1886. Rebuilt 2 occasions following natural disasters, it was restored in 1989. Having so if you have time: flower market, fish market and market fruits and vegetables.
