If you listen carefully to the Creole language that's spoken on Martinique, you'll be able to hear what this island is all about: It's partly French and it's partly something different.
Like France, Martinique has stylish food, stylish clothing and great pride in all things French. But it's also very much a part of the Caribbean, with its beautiful mountains, tangled rain forests, long beaches and African-influenced heritage.
Martinique is a place where knowing a little French goes a long way. Those who can talk the talk, or who like the challenge of a language barrier, are most likely to be enchanted by Martinique's blend of French and tropical experiences.
