This is the business center and administrative capital of the island with many tourist attractions. Most of these attractions are grouped together around the city’s haven of greenery named La Savane (Savanna.)
La Baie de Fort-de-France
This is one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
La Savane
Five hectares of public gardens with magnificent tropical plants.
La Cathedrale Saint Louis
Built in 1895, this cathedral has a Roman-style bell tower. Many of Martinique’s former governors are buried in the chancel, but without a doubt the cathedral’s huge pipe organs attract the most visitors.
The Fruit and Vegetable Market and the Fish Market
Picturesque and colorful, you can spend time discovering the spirit of Fort-de-France here.
Floral Park
There are a number of traditional workshops, an exotic aquarium, as well as a botanical and geological gallery in this wonderful park.
Schoelcher Library
Designed by the architect Henry Pick, this library was built in Paris for the Exposition of 1889, then dismantled and brought from France, brick by brick and completed in 1893.
