Like a French
princess, Martinique is really crowned by a perpetually swirling mist
above the once-active Mont Pelee volcano. The volcano has been dormant for
almost a century, but its imperial status has not diminished. Martiniquans
respect nature. The islands beaches, which range from the purest white to
the most saturated black, are pristine. Its low-lying countryside is
unblemished, and its towns are draped in tropical flowers like frangipani,
hibiscus, oleander, and bougainvillaea.
