Fort-de-France Highlights

Fort-de-France is one of the Caribbean's most layered cities: a colonial waterfront , a library shipped from Paris , a market blazing with spices and colour , and streets painted by contemporary artists. This walk takes you through all of it. You will pass the park where Joséphine de Beauharnais is remembered, the courtyard where merises ripen in the shade, the pastry shop that has been feeding the city since 1906, and the rum bar where the walk ends in style. The city is best in the morning or late afternoon when the light is golden and the heat is kind. Bring water, wear light clothes, and let Fort-de-France come to you.
