About the Port
Trois-Îlets sits along the Baie de Fort-de-France, a low-key counterpoint to Martinique's busier capital just across the water. The town is best known as the birthplace of Empress Josephine, and a small museum and quiet church square recall her family's plantation history. Nearby, the historic pottery works at La Poterie continue a centuries-old craft tradition, turning out glazed earthenware in workshops open to visitors.
Beyond the village, palm-fringed lanes lead toward beaches at Pointe du Bout and the Anses Mitan, popular for swimming and calm-water views back toward Fort-de-France's hills. A regular ferry links Trois-Îlets to the capital, making it simple to pair a slower, garden-village morning with an afternoon amid the city's markets and colonial architecture. The pace here favors strolling over sightseeing checklists.

Swim at Anses Mitan
Settle into calm, turquoise water framed by palms and a view back toward Fort-de-France's green hills—an easy walk from the village center, ideal for an unhurried beach hour.
