Cachot de Cyparis

Tourist attraction

👍👍 It is a must-visit place steeped in history in Martinique. The ruins are accessible for free and the dungeon of Cyparis is also. Several conditions meant that he managed to survive the disaster, but I'll let you find out how.

Les ruines sont accessible gratuitement et le cachot de Cyparis l’est Ă©galement. Plusieurs conditions ont fait qu’il a rĂ©ussi Ă  survivre Ă  la catastrophe mais je vous laisserai dĂ©couvrir comment.

    An interesting story of how a prisoner survived a volcanic eruption whilst all others in the town perished.

    This is where the only survivor of Mt. Pelee was housed in 1902. He was an inmate locked up in isolation. Over 30,000 people died.

    Visited the town as part of a catamaran cruise along the coast. Although small with two road leading through, the town displayed its history well and had all the necessary shops.

    The prison and cell where Cyparis survived the blast is a must-see while in Saint-Pierre!

    Great for drinks but don't plan on food. Kitchen is rarely open and only for short periods

    Fascinating history. Very interesting.

    Nice historical site with interesting explanations in English and French making it possible to imagine how the city looked like at the time once the volcano erupted the last time.

    (Translated by Google) Discovery of the dungeon during the visit to Saint-Pierre, a town destroyed in 1902 by the Pelée volcano. The dungeon is right next to the ruins of the old theatre. (Original) Découverte du cachot lors de la visite de Saint-Pierre, ville détruite en 1902 par le volcan Pelée. Le cachot est juste à cÎté des ruines de l'ancien théùtre.

    (Translated by Google) Glued to the ruins of the theater, the dungeon of Cyparis is one of the elements of the ruins of Saint Pierre. Steeped in history, this place is an interesting place to see and easily accessible in the city. The explanatory panels inform you about these places (Original) Collé au ruines du théùtre, le cachot de Cyparis est l'un des éléments des ruines de Saint Pierre. Chargé d'histoire, ce lieu est un endroit intéressant à voir et facile d'accÚs en pleine ville. Les panneaux explicatifs vous renseignent sur ces lieux

    (Translated by Google) An incredible story that is the fate of this prisoner. Is located near the theater. Takes little time but very interesting (Original) Une histoire incroyable qu'est le destin de ce prisonnier. Se situe proche du théùtre. Prend peu de temps mais trÚs intéressant

    (Translated by Google) In the continuity of the flowery getaway offered by the Club Med des Boucaniers, the visit to the theater of St Pierre completely destroyed by the local volcano called Mount Pelé, highlights the story of this young survivor isolated in a dungeon. To visit. (Original) Dans la continuité de l'escapade fleurie proposée par le Club Med des Boucaniers, la visite du théùtre de St pierre entiÚrement détruit par le volcan local nommé la montagne Pelé, met en avant l'histoire de ce jeune rescapé isolé dans un cachot. A visiter.

😠 I might have visited museums worse than this one, albeit I am quite sure to remember that - contrary to the MusĂ©e Franck Perret - none of them charged admission.

The agent would not allow a group of 10 people to enter even though we walked a half hour from st pierre to have a tour and though they do not close until 5pm! Very disappointed. Bad cus...
