This
is
a
beautiful
Catholic
Church
on
the
Route
de
Balata
on
a
mountain
overlooking
Fort
de
France
Bay.
The
church
sits
adjacent
to
a
convent
and
is
surrounded
by
lush
vegetation
and
the
most
magnificent
and
fragrant
tropical
flowers.
If
you
are
walking
the
countryside,
traveling
by
car,
or
visiting
the
church
on
a
guided
tour
bus,
it
is
not
only
scenic
it
is
an
oasis
of
tranquility.
You're
able
to
sit
and
eat
your
packed
lunch
of
the
most
delicious
creole
cuisine,
take
pictures
of
birds,
flowers
and
of
boats
in
the
near
Caribbean
sea
for
hours,
read
a
book,
hear
yourself
think,
or
even
venture
into
the
church
to
sit
in
a
wooden
pew
and
pray
or
meditate.
The
beautiful
rustic
church
edifice
itself
is
in
various
stages
of
continuous
repair,
which
gives
the
visitor
a
true
feel
of
the
age
of
the
church
and
a
wonderful
connection
to
the
local
people
who
come
regularly
to
worship.
The
church
is
abutted
by
its
cemetery
which
is
a
haven
of
local
genealogical
history.
If
you
visit
Martinique,
it
is
without
equivocation
a
must
see
and
a
most
magnificent
destination.
