Caribbean islands are mostly volcanic or limestone in origin, and coral reefs grow off many of their coasts. Carnival parades are held across the Caribbean, some before Lent and others in the summer months, and Martinique takes part in that wider tradition.

Caribbean cooking commonly combines rice, plantain and saltfish with Scotch bonnet and other hot peppers, flavours visitors will meet across the island. For those exploring Fort-de-France on foot, the statue makes a brief but worthwhile stop.
