Martinique is simply one of the Caribbean's most enchanting destinations. Francophiles adore the French island for its gastromony, its music and élan, and the availability of the finest French products, from Chanel fashions to Limoges china. It's also endowed with physical beauty as varied as white-sand beaches and tropical rainforests. The volcano Mont Pelée looms over the harbor town of St-Pierre, known as the Pompeii of the Caribbean. Dynamic changes in its capital, Fort-de-France, enhanced attractions, and new restaurants and clubs, make Martinique one of the most cosmopolitan islands around.
