Ле-Карбе

Le Carbet's Essential Treasures

Le Carbet combines artistic legacy with colonial history along Martinique’s Caribbean coast. The area features the Paul Gauguin Museum, commemorating the painter's 1887 stay, and the ruins of Habitation Latouche, an estate destroyed by the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée. Architectural landmarks include the 18th-century Église Saint-Jacques and the defensive Batterie Sainte-Marthe. Natural sites like the grey sands of Plage de l'Anse Turin and the Anse Marigot viewpoint offer perspectives of the volcanic landscape and the sea.
