How to get there - Le Lamentin
Arrival in Martinique
Steps: Le Lamentin
You'll arrive at the airport of Lamentin. You are perhaps exhausted by the journey, and you'll have only one idea in mind: to run to your holiday resort. A good shower, a welcome ti-punch and off to bed!
Relaxation and preparation
Wake up at sunrise around 6am. After a night's sleep, you'll be in great shape: you can already taste the pleasure of tropical well-being. The sky is blue with strong luminosity. We suggest you take advantage of the hotel (lazing around, swimming pool, beach) and take your bearings in order to organize your week.
Leeward coast
Steps: Morne-Rouge
You're getting used to the time difference. Take the opportunity to set off early in the morning to discover the "leeward" west coast. Head up the south Caribbean coast, stopping for breakfast at Anses d'Arlet. Then head for Fort-de-France for shopping and the market. Then head north to Le Prêcheur. Visit the Balata botanical garden and have lunch on Le Carbet beach. In the afternoon, stop off at Saint-Pierre, then take the Morne-Rouge road via the Trace rainforest, which leads down to Fort-de-France. Simply breathtaking.
