Martinique: a volcanic Caribbean island in the French Overseas Departments

Martinique is a French overseas department located in the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, combining the status of a French metropolitan administration with that of an overseas territory of the European Union. The volcanic island is known for its spectacular natural beauty, with its active volcano Pele, black sand beaches and emerald green rainforests, and its pleasant climate, making it a tropical tourist destination. The economy is based on agriculture (mainly bananas and pineapples) and tourism, and the culture is a blend of African, European and Caribbean traditions, with Creole music, dance and cuisine. As a French Overseas Department, Martinique uses the Euro and the official language is French, retaining both the tropical flavor of the Caribbean and French romance, attracting travelers from around the globe to explore its unique volcanic landscapes and cultural charms.
