Martinique

Martinique - A French jewel in the Caribbean islands. Renowned for the beauty of her scenery, the Carib people named her Madinina - The Island of Flowers. Wander inland to the cascading waterfalls at the head of the Falaise River, sample the award-winning local rum, visit sugar, palm, banana and pineapple plantations - there are plenty of spoils to savor. The historian may like to visit St-Pierre which was the capital until May 1902 when Mt. Pele volcano erupted, wiping out the city and its 30,000 people in just three minutes - the only survivor was a prisoner in the town jail.
