Introduction to Martinique
Martinique is an island located in the Caribbean Sea, specifically amongst the Lesser Antilles. It is a French territory, making it a unique blend of Caribbean and European cultures. The island has a rich history, having been inhabited by the Carib people before it was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493. It was later colonized by the French, who brought with them African slaves and indentured laborers from India. This cultural mix has resulted in a vibrant Creole culture, with a French-Caribbean cuisine that is renowned around the world. Martinique is known for its beautiful beaches and warm and friendly people. Visitors can explore the island’s history through its many cultural landmarks, such as the Fort-de-France Cathedral and the home of the famous poet Aimé Césaire.
