This Gallic toehold in the Caribbean exudes a distinctly French air, enticingly spiced up by West Indian warmth. Local culture and cuisine combine both influences. The stylish isle is dominated by Mount Pelee, which destroyed the city of St. Pierre in 1902. Black sand beaches and rainforests are found in the north, with yet more beautiful sands to the south. Sights include La Pagerie, birthplace of Napoleon's Empress Josephine, and Diamond Rock, a 600-foot pinnacle, once registered as a British warship.

A very moving experience to walk among the motionless figures looking out to sea towards their long lost homeland. Very informative information boards.

Partially free, very nice building and courtyard. The cultural center was the former Palace of Justice. In front of the building is a Schoelcher statue in a mini-park.
