Home to around 5,000 people, the village of Saint-Pierre was once almost wiped off the map in less than two minutes during an eruption of the Mount Pelée volcano in 1902. In more recent years, Saint-Pierre (also known as ‘Little Paris’) has been named as the 101st ‘City of Art and History’. A visit to Saint-Pierre will allow you to discover a few remnants of Martinique’s colonial history: the old theatre, the ruins of the island’s fort and the dungeon of Cyparis, as well as the wonderful site it is today, facing a gorgeous bay and leaning in the foothills of Mount Pelée.

Soufrière was the original capital of Saint Lucia and is one of the island’s most memorable spots. The town has kept the spirit of the French colonialists who first settled there but were later followed by the British. Soufrière is situated in the Qualibou Depression, the crater of a dormant volcano, so one can enjoy hot springs and geothermal fields, as well as botanical gardens and waterfalls all in the same area.
