WALKING TOUR OF HISTORIC FORT DE FRANCE
$23 Per Person

This interesting tour promises to take you to all of the highlights of sophisticated Fort de France, Martinique's capital. Your walking tour begins near the statue of Pierre Belain d'Esnambuc, who represents the first French colonizer of the country. As you cross La Savanne Park, you will get an education on the splendid tropical landscaping there. Your guide, who speaks with that lovely French accent, will tell you the stories behind the War Memorial, the Empress Josephine Statue, the Schoelcher Library, the St. Louis Cathedral and more. The Saint Louis Fort, one of the first monuments in the capital, is also part of your route.

Not only are the tales enjoyable, but the buildings are so beautiful you will think you are in the middle of a sophisticated European city rather than an island. You'll also learn about tropical plants while strolling through the park. You will savor your stop at a Martinican juice shop for a drink. (Of course, I would be wandering into one of those yummy French bakeries!) Your tour will end at the famous Roger Albert duty free shop, a perfect stop to find French perfume at dutyfree prices, located on Victor Hugo Street.
