This is the Martinique chapter from Lonely Planet's Caribbean Islands, guidebook, available to Pick & Mix.Close your eyes on the streets of Martinique and you could fancy yourself in France. But open your eyes and you'll see sugarcane fields, palm trees and a town ruined in 1901 by the island's still active volcano. It's fast urbanizing, but Martinique still deserves its soubriquet 'Isle of Flowers'.
