Marvellous Martinique - The Island Paradise!
He was the only survivor!
When Mount Pelée violently erupted on May 8, 1902 - the volcano’s hot pyroclastic flow buried and destroyed the bustling coastal town of St Pierre. Thirty thousand people perished, except for one confined resident - an inmate incarcerated in the dungeon of the local jail. He was pulled out alive!
Come along for the ride as Voyageur Fred takes you on a fascinating historical and cultural tour of marvellous Martinique. See the imposing medieval fortifications at Fort St Louis, friendly Fort-de-France, with its chic French colonial architecture, mysterious and dangerous Diamond Rock, followed by visits to sugar cane and banana plantations, a rum factory tour plus strolls on stunning and desolate white sand beaches.
The joyous atmosphere, music and colourful celebrations of Carnaval close out the show! It’s a tour de force of this exotic, beautiful and distinctive - French island paradise.
