Martinique - the French Island with departement nr 97 ( Paris is 75).
They promised good shopping but that was only about diamonds and crystals. We took a horsecarriage through the city of Forte de France. We didn't understand much, but we did understand the story of the earthquake when the only survivor was a prisoner who lived because the walls were so thick. So this prisoner could tell others what had happened.
If you, like us, feel that the story is somewhat lacking in logic, you have to ask the French Guy.
Another story that we understod was about the library. It was first built for the French world expo at the same time that the eiffeltower was built, and by the same guy (Eiffel). And it was the first building was constructed by armoured concrete. After the expo this building was disassembled and shiped to Martinique where it was reassembled.
