Jardin de Balata
Gardens in Northern Martinique
Just 10km outside of Fort-de-France, this mature botanical garden in a rainforest setting is one of Martinique’s best attractions and it will please anyone with even a passing interest in botany. The hour-long walk around the garden is clearly marked, and a series of tree walks will keep kids interested. An audioguide in English is available.
To get there from Fort-de-France, take a taxi (€15, 20 minutes) or a suburban bus (€1.50, 20 minutes) from Rue André Aliker.
