Activity itinerary

Cour Perrinon (Pass by)
You're in Colonel Fabien's little square. Facing you, the alignment of colourful facades is the great shopping centre of the Cour Perrinon. This is where you will have to go if you want to do some Shopping.
Theatre Aime Cesaire (Pass by)
This beautiful neoclassical stone building is the former Fort-de-France City Inn. It was built in 1884, on the site of a former hospice, to replace the common house of 1848.
Espace Camille Darsiere (Pass by)
The building you have in front of you, facing the small square Victor Schœlcher, is the old courthouse, built in 1907, in a neoclassical style. Today, it houses the Camille Darsière space, a multicultural space, partially open to the public.
St. Louis Cathedral (Pass by)
Here you are in front of the beautiful Saint-Louis Cathedral, in the heart of the city centre. The building of a place of worship dates back to the end of the 17th century, when the town was gradually being formed around the Royal Fort.
Fort-de-France (Pass by)
The various points of interest you discovered during this audioguided tour, have enlightened you on certain parts of Martinique’s history. The founding of the city around the fort, its military strategic importance, the role of the Martinicans in the various wars, and the key political figures in its history.
Schoelcher Library (Pass by)
You now arrive at one of the most emblematic images of Fort-de-France, the magnificent Schœlcher Library, and certainly the most photographed building in the city. It was founded in 1887, when Victor Schœlcher, a staunch advocate of the abolition of slavery, decided to bequeath his vast private collection to the General Trip Tip of Martinique.
La Savane (Pass by)
You now pass along the Savannah Park, which stretches over 5 hectares, between the city, Fort Saint-Louis and the sea. This vast expanse of landscape has long been at the heart of the lives of the people of Foyalais.
Monument aux morts (Pass by)
You are now in front of the monument to the dead in Savannah Park. This statue was erected in 1926, to honour Martinique soldiers who had fallen in the First World War.
Fort Saint-Louis (Pass by)
You are in front of the entrance of the famous Fort Saint-Louis, well installed on its rocky promontory overlooking the Bay of Fort-de-France. Its history is as old as that of the French colonisation of the island and intimately linked to the conflicts between the great European powers.
Plage La Francaise (Pass by)
You are here at the entrance to the beach of La Française, the only beach in city centre Fort-de-France. No postcard decor like this may be the case with the other paradisiacal beaches of the island, but the small beach of La Française has the merit of offering you a mini relaxing break in the heart of your visit.
Rue Andre Guedon (Pass by)
You pass by the beautiful Henir Guédon bandstand. It is an emblematic monument on the waterfront of Fort-de-France.
Malecon (Pass by)
You are here on the Esplanade, the beautiful promenade along the Caribbean Sea. It offers a breathtaking view of the sparkling waters of Fort-de-France Bay, framed by mountains and green hills.
Fort-de-France (Pass by)
You reach the end of the Esplanade, admiring the huge and incredible colourful fresco that unfolds under your feet. You recognise typical landscapes of Martinique as well as some of these most emblematic animals, or diverse and varied representations of Martinique culture.
Grand Marche (Pass by)
You arrive in front of the entrance of the large Covered Point of Sale of Fort-de-France, a must for all lovers of flavour and authenticity. It’s the perfect place to live an immersive experience in the local culture and explore the diversity of the island’s flavours and know-how, through its local products and crafts.
