Martinique is island and overseas département and région of France, in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is a leading destination for European vacationers, it offers gorgeous beaches, great food and a variety of accommodations. The island is crowned by the still-smoldering Mont Pelée, which wiped out Martinique’s former capital of St-Pierre in 1902. There’s plenty of hiking and nature-watching on the slopes of the volcano. The hurricane season in Martinique normally runs from June to November.
