St. Anne - Martinique - The French West Indies - Flower of the Caribbean In contrast to our time in Trinidad we have felt completely welcomed in Martinique. Our first anchorage is off of delightful St. Anne, Martinique's southernmost village where the town seems almost blissfully unaware of the Club Med and hopping beaches nearby. We are delighted and charmed by the totally French culture that surrounds us. It just seems so civilized here, not to mention immaculately clean and breath-takingly picturesque. Our lack of language skills seem of no concern to the friendly, kind and helpful locals. Fine wines, fine cheeses, fine pastries all combined with tropical delights, ah....francais.....francais. Martinique truly is the flower of the Caribbean.
