Further information
The tour starts with a visit to the Pagerie museum, the birthplace of Joséphine de Beauharnais, the empress of France and Napoleon’s wife. At the old plantation, set in a garden, you’ll find a small museum with her personal objects and other items from the period as well as understand the tricky relation she has with Martinique.
The tour then takes you through Trois-Ilets, stopping shortly to see the old church where Empress Joséphine was baptized and also the Anse à l’Ane beach, and then through a winding forest road to Anses D’Arlet.
This is a small, pictoresque village with old wooden houses and a beautiful church by the seafront facing a pier. We'll stop for some pictures and exploration and optionally, a swim and/or snorkeling to spot tropical fish in the coral reef, and if lucky, turtles and starfish! After this, we drive up to the Morne Larcher mountain for a view on the spectacular Diamond Rock, a small volcanic island in the sea. We finish with a visit to the Cap 110°, a memorial site dedicated to a sunken slave ship before driving back towards Fort-de-France passing through the town of le Diamant. Also included a short stop for pictures at the beautiful beach of le Diamant.
