Get to know Fort-de-France, the capital of Martinique, on this delightful walking tour.
Meet your English-speaking guide and set out on foot from the Belain d'Esnambuc Statue. Walk through bustling, narrow city streets, learning about the city's rich history, architecture and tropical plants. Highlights include a view of Fort St Louis, which guards the harbor, the War Memorial, and La Savanna.
Pass the Schœlcher Library, named after the island's most famous abolitionist who labored to free Martinique's slaves, the Prefecture building, and Maison Bougenot -- a traditional colonial home.
See the Town Hall and Municipal Theatre and the spice market before pausing for some mineral water.
Walk past the courthouse with its statue honoring Victor Schœlcher and the St Louis Cathedral before your tour ends at the main shopping street and your guide turns you loose for some retail therapy.
