Fort De France Martinique Hot

Fort de France is the capital of the beautiful island Martinique, overseas territory of France. A colorful combination of colonial architecture and fantastic food will make you feel in a mini-Caribbean-Paris with, of course, island speed. So, do not try to be in a hurry...
The food offer goes from snacks and drinks offered by street vendors in La Savanne (the central park of the city) upto the cafés, delis and restaurants with a wide variety of food, excellent quality and very good service. Clearly the waiters/waitresses are much nicer than in Paris (well, it does not take a lot of effort to do that ;)...) Please, ignore the local version of the fast-food chains that exist everywhere... Go for the excellent patisserie. You will gain a couple of lbs but it's totally worth it!

From La Savanne, you can find the ferries that go to the beaches, being Pointe de Bout the most popular. Also the little vans that can take you to other small towns. All of them have different schedules and prices. Some places to visit in the city: The Cathedral and a local version of the Sacre Coeur. The cemetery is very nice. and Of course, on this island as well, there is place where Columbus was supposed to first set foot ashore (also in Grand Turk and other islands... who knows where that man arrived...)
