Martinique
A volcano that erupted in 1902 and wiped out an entire city in minutes, French bakeries somehow thriving beside Creole markets, and rum distilleries that treat the process as seriously as any cognac house.
The best time to visit Martinique is Dec–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (85°F). Local time there is 21:03 (UTC-4).
