A must have for those who want to know the history of Martinique. We spent here 2,5 hours. I recommend you start with a video which is shown every 15-20 min. It will give you a good overview as well as the context. It was much easier to later explore the expositions, knowing what part of history it was related to. Definitely read all those billboards. They have fascinating facts, really interesting. Be aware, that there's no internet connection. Their WiFi is not working, as well as there's no cellular data. Both of my SIM cards (local and a foreign one) had no connection. So if you come with someone else, agree on the meeting point. PS: All info is available in both French and English languages. Video is in French, but has English subtitles.

Really good, nice place of Martinique history. There is a video in the beginning about Martinique, plantage etc…alot of exhibitions- the housing, gardens, medical garden etc. We had a chance to see one traditional performance, dance in the place aswell.

Such a nice museum… the artifacts are well preserved and exquisitely curated. Most of the time I found billboards boring but, these ones are fascinating (bilingual, french and english). Good vulgarisation - I couldn’t stop reading, besides learning a lot, it pushed me to search for even more information afterwards. Situated in a lively tropical garden on the hills where fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs are cultivated in the traditional manner and are labeled and explained too. I’ll definitely go back every time I’m in the area, and plan at least a half a day to stroll around. There’s something for everyone, no matter the age or the interests. And it wasn’t crowded.

Impressive setting. The owner is very dedicated and wise in the way he feels about that horrible histories. Amazing information and done in such a easy WiFi and QR code way. Fabulous

Nice place to visit and know about Martinique first inhabitants and slaves. I think the introduction video could be a bit shorter and more interactive. Otherwise, great place, nice flora, the ice creams are good.

Though staying much further north, we visited this museum on the recommendation of our hotelier. It was a moving and very informative visit, and I was surprised the tranquility in the gardens. The introductory video is a must. Presented by the founder of the museum, it provides a clear explanation of the history of the people and immigrants who came to Martinique, the history of slavery and life after slavery. In fact, it is a foundation for everything that follows. Everything is presented in French and English, including very clear subtitles on the video. Give yourself at least 90 minutes to visit here. Walk around the site brings the video to life, and the gardens themselves are beautiful. Very welcoming staff. Don't miss this experience!! Thank you.

If you want to know about the history of Martinique and their ancestry this place is a mandatory visit. You can visit on your own and get plenty of explanations on the way. The founder, Ti Gilbé, also published books which can be bought in the store on site. Come and get educated about Martinique !

Excellent historical place,we stayed a lot and enjoyed every moment

We totally recommend this place. La Savane des Esclaves is very beautiful and well maintained place. It combines slavery museum with tropical garden and village of Carib Indians and houses used after abolition of slavery. You will gain a lot of information and you will be amazed by beautiful nature. Don't forget to get a drink from fresh fruits. Check the opening hours and enjoy the beautiful road here as well.

Honestly, very informative although the hot weather made it a bit hard to appreciate.

Nice place with 400 hundred years of history.
