About this ebook
Thank you for purchasing this guide and welcome to your travel guide "Voyage Experience: Martinique"! We hope it will help you discover this dream island that awaits your arrival. Martinique is not just an island among others: it’s really an incredible beautiful one! With gorgeous white and black sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, fantastic snorkeling and diving spots featuring multicolored fish and sea turtles, lush nature, and beautiful flowers… The list is so long that I couldn't even finish it. We spent three years on this paradise island, exploring it from top to bottom. In our opinion, Martinique has the most beautiful beaches we have seen so far (and we have visited several hundred in our travels). You'll find their descriptions in this guide, along with our favorite spots. Maybe this will inspire you to go see these wonders for yourself, selecting the ones that suit your taste. Well, to be honest, in 2023, we discovered some beaches even more beautiful than those you can find in this guide. So, if you want to find more about them, do not hesitate to read our guide “New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands”. However, Martinique is an ideal destination if you're seeking paradise beaches without dangers such as sharks, rough seas, or dangerous currents. It offers beautiful natural sites, numerous hikes, lush nature, and gorgeous flowers. Some hikes are truly unique, and various activities await your discovery.

Martinique - Cristina Rebiere
How to use the eGuide?
You have probably read dozens of books or even tourist guides in your life. They typically have a table of contents at the beginning of the book, an index or glossary, and a table of photographs at the end of the book. The electronic version of this eGuide contains a lot of this information, but also offers a bonus that will help you quickly and intuitively mobilize the content and create your own reading mode: it’s a genuine digital book, tactile, akin to a website that doesn't require an internet connection. We have organized the Voyage Experience eguide in a conventional manner for those who want to read 'normally' without pondering metaphysical or methodological questions: they can jump directly to the 'Sites to visit' section. For the curious or fans of personalization and web browsing, we offer three navigation modes. You can always go back in your reading by using the Back
key on your smartphone, tablet or touchscreen computer. All underlined texts are hyperlinks, so you can click them. You can see colorful, square thematic icons with a pictogram inside. Here are a few examples:
These icons clearly and simply indicate the interests that are present in the respective section. The background color of these icons depends on the theme. You can see the details of these icons in the chapter dedicated to IcoNAV. Here is the mode of operation of the 3 proposed navigation possibilities:
1. GeoNAV: a classic
geographical exploration
In the electronic version, by touching or clicking the hyperlink corresponding to the tourist site you are interested in, you go directly to the corresponding page.
2. PhotoNAV: discover dream sites through photos
In the electronic version, by touching or clicking the hyperlink below the photo, you go directly to the corresponding page.
3. IcoNAV: choose your interests by icons
In the chapter IcoNAV
, you can discover the themes of the icons and, for each of them, the list of tourist sites where this icon is found, as hyperlinks that you can activate by clicking them. Nothing could be easier!
How do I view maps?
In the electronic version, if you are not connected to the internet and if your e-reader allows it, you can zoom on the maps embedded in tourist sites. If you are connected to the internet you can also access the maps offered by the "OpenStreetMap" site by clicking on the corresponding hyperlink located under the respective map.

Ajoupa Bouillon (Google Maps) is a small town in the north of Martinique with serene peace. In fact, it is the size of a village, but that's the case for almost all cities there, as the island is not too large. Its name comes from the Creole word ajoupa
which means Caribbean makeshift shelter
. The city would hold its name from Jean Gobert mister of Bouillon, native of Languedoc, region of France, settled in the region of the Oxbow lake where he died in 1680. It
