Visit Martinique > The South

Le Lamentin
The airport, hippodrome horse racing course and industrial zones based in this town are three of the regional Department's main centers of activity. The fields of sugar cane stretch out across the Lamentin plain all the way to the horizon.

Ducos
Situated inland, Ducos is mainly an agricultural town with a booming small-trade and industrial area.

Rivière-Salée
The Rivière-Salée is a large plain that has been given over to growing sugar cane, although there is no rum distillery within the territory belonging to this district. On some houses, you can still see structures that date to the 19th century.

Trois-Ilets
You can get here by car of course, but also on a ferry from Fort-de-France. The Pagerie Museum is in this town, set up on the spot where Empress Josephine was born. A number of musical and cultural events are organized in the Park of the Trois-Ilets close to the island's magnificent golf club. You must not miss the Market or the Sugar Cane Museum. The pottery center, where the objects are handmade by local craft artists, is also worth a visit.

Les Anses d'Arlet
This is a small fishing village with a beautiful beach frequently sought out by vacationers.
