Basseterre is located on the SW coast of St Kitts Island in the Leeward Islands group, and is one of the oldest towns in the Eastern Caribbean.

5	Fri 6 Dec 2019	Martinique, Martinique	7:00 AM	6:00 PM
Martinique is a Caribbean island that is an overseas department of France. It truly is a ‘little bit of France’, and visitors quickly become aware that very little English is spoken. On the other hand, it is intriguing in that it is one of the few islands where the lush countryside reflects the growth of sugar cane and bananas. The island also has contemporary appeal, as it offers elegant restaurants and chic boutiques in the Galleria shopping mall. The historic urban attractions of Fort-de-France are also home to the lush park of La Savane, with its intriguing, vandalised historical statue. more info

Their rich cultural heritage is evident in their music, dance, cuisine and religion.
