The turbulent city of Fort-de-France can be very engaging. From the to and fro of the lively markets to the flapping sails in the harbour, the place seems to be in a constant state of excitement, and you will soon find yourself caught up in it!

If not classically beautiful, the city's streets are a riot of colour and fragrances. The mix of narrow bustling streets, parks, offices and turn-of-the-century buildings housing boutiques and cafes gives it a flavour owing as much to the side-streets of Paris as it does to the Caribbean.
