Detailed itinerary
1
La Montagne Pelée est un volcan encore actif. On peut avoir accès à son premier refuge en voiture ! Elle nous offre une vue sur la Mer des Caraïbes et l'Océan Atlantique, une végétation unique. Elle reste célèbre pour ses éruptions de 1902 qui ont détruit les villes de Saint-Pierre et du Morne-Rouge.
2
Lieu d'histoire et terre de rhum de la Montagne Pelée depuis le 17ème siècle, on peut y voir un jardin aux arbres remarquables, une distillerie où on déguste toutes les variétés d rhume et un magnifique château.
3
Le site de l'Eglise de Balata offre une magnifique vue sur la Baie de Fort-de-France.
4
Absalon est un lieu historique où la végétation tropicale luxuriante s'épanouit. On peut y voir une cascade.
5
A Fonds-Saint-Denis, petite commune fleurie de Martinique, on peut prendre un bain à la cascade de Saut Gendarme pour se rafraîchir.
6
On traversera en voiture les Pitons du Carbet qui offrent une végétation tropicale luxuriante. On fera une pause au Domaine d'Emeraude (ancien jardin Estripeaut).
7
On ne peut pas s'arrêter à Saint-Pierre sans voire ses ruines ! L'ancienne capitale de la Martinique a été rasée par l'éruption du volcan, la Montagne Pelée, en Mai 1902. Point de départ de l'histoire coloniale française, elle concentre plusieurs lieux de mémoire. On y trouve un marché créole coloré.
