Grande Terre Info, Lesser Antilles

A compact but fully fledged tourist resort, sandwiched between the glorious if overcrowded Reduit Beach and the shops and yachting facilities of Rodney Bay Marina. The mangrove swamp that once separated the villages of Rodney Bay and Gros Islet has been replaced by a man-made harbour channel, which opens out into a deep-water lagoon dotted with bobbing yachts. From the Castries-Gros Islet Highway, the main road into town (look for the sign to Rodney Bay) is on the left side, just before JQ's shopping mall, thwe harbour and marina.

Martinique is truly "A little bit of France in the Caribbean Islands." It exudes a distinctly French feeling -- In the excellence of it's Caribbean cuisine, the beauty of its language. Yet Martinique has a cachet all its own, an endearing west indian warmth in its personality, a special spice in its Caribbean music and dance, its local dishes, and its way of life. It is an island with style.

The most beautiful Bay in the Caribbean. All year round, Marigot Bay is the home of dozens of sailboats which choose our tropical fjord as one of the nicest natural anchorage in the Caribbean. Opening onto the Caribbean sea, Marigot Bay is conveniently situated 20 minutes South of Castries, the Island's Capital City, 45 minutes South of Pigeon Island National Park and 60 minutes North of the majestic Pitons.
