Jardin de Balata & Atlantic Plantations. A road trip in Northern Martinique
Setting out from Fort-de-france we made our way up through the heart of central and northern Martinique, from Jardin de Balata to Sainte-Marie.

Jardin de Balata hadn’t originally made it onto my to-do list, but as I slipped through a hillside tropical paradise of palms, ferns, tropical flowers and flitting hummingbirds I quickly realised what a mistake missing this would’ve been.
After just a few days in Fort-de-France we set off on a Martinique road trip around the South of the island, from Trois Ilets down to Sainte-Anne.
Fort-de-France, capital of Martinique in the French Caribbean. Here I was, spending December exploring buttery croissants, excellent wine, & palm-fringed tropical beaches.
