This Gallic toehold in the Caribbean exudes a distinctly French air, enticingly spiced up by West Indian warmth. Local culture and cuisine combine both influences. The stylish isle is dominated by Mount Pelee, which destroyed the city of St. Pierre in 1902. Black sand beaches and rainforests are found in the north, with yet more beautiful sands to the south. Sights include La Pagerie, birthplace of Napoleon's Empress Josephine, and Diamond Rock, a 600-foot pinnacle, once registered as a British warship.

Great national park at the end of the road in Ste Anne Martinique. After the parking area, you need to cross a bridge over an estuary with slippery rocks at each end. The well blazed trail takes you along a rugged coast line with cactus plants. I didn't see any pieces of petrified wood along the trail but the information board had pictures of some. Access to the park is free

Two days ago, we could not be able to cross to the Ilet Sainte-Marie. The waves were wild. One guy tried, but it was too difficult. He came back sad. Two days later, there were no waves. The tombolo was quiet. There were no waves at all. Even babies could walk without problems.all, all day on. That was amazing! If you cannot come to the island, come another day. This is a must to see! This is a must see! Wow!
