As a French overseas territory, it makes a familiar and easy choice for francophone travellers. Plan for a layover if there is no direct flight from your departure city.
What to see and do

- Touring a local rum distillery
Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro, as Martinique is part of France, and French is the official language alongside Creole. A rental car is the most practical way to explore the beaches and interior, since buses and shared taxis are limited and don't run to a strict schedule, though under-25s often face a young-driver surcharge, so guided day tours are a good car-free alternative and a ferry links the capital to the Trois-Îlets beaches; downtown Fort-de-France parking can be tight. Standard French and EU norms apply, making it a comfortable, familiar destination for francophones.
