History and Heritage of Martinique

Martinique is not just beaches, sun, idleness and coconut trees! It is also a formidable historical and cultural heritage with many traditions that we invite you to discover, from carnival to gastronomy. Find some of the most rooted traditions on the island!

Discovering Martinique also means understanding the culture and the environment of the territory. For lovers of flora and exotic fruits, the Banana Museum is a must. Zoom in on this wonderful place.

Sinobol (a Creole word), little known in mainland France, is nevertheless a characteristic element of Martinican culture and gastronomy. Behind this name, taken from the English snowball (snowball, for the less English-speaking), hides quite simply an ice cream!
