The Town of Saint-Pierre, Martinique: A Storied History and Resilient Spirit

Nestled along the northern coastline of the lush, volcanic island of Martinique lies the historic town of Saint-Pierre. Martinique is an island country that is an overseas region of France, situated in the eastern Caribbean Sea as part of the Lesser Antilles island chain. It was founded in the 17th century, but a volcanic eruption in 1902 cut short its prosperity. Today, the town has rebuilt and blended its rich history with a renewed commitment to the future.
