Hello, I’m Jacques, born and raised in the beautiful island of Martinique, right in the heart of the Caribbean. I’m passionate about meeting people from around the world and sharing the colors, flavors, stories, and hidden corners of my island through authentic and immersive experiences. Over the years, I’ve been guiding travelers across Martinique and the Caribbean islands, creating memorable moments filled with culture, nature, local traditions, and good vibes. I care about eco-friendly tourism and believe travel should respect both nature and local communities; that's why I strive to offer meaningful experiences with a lighter environmental footprint, promoting respectful travel and authentic encounters. Even with the current crisis and rising fuel costs, I have chosen to maintain fair and competitive prices without compromising the quality of the experience. Kindness, sharing, and solidarity remain at the heart of my commitment. Sharing stories is also one of my passions. Under the pen name Phayne Anton, I write novels inspired by Creole life, Caribbean scenery, and the unique rhythms and spirit of the West Indies.

Overview of your Fort De France tour

Renowned for its dramatic coastline and secluded fishing villages, Diamond Peninsula is also a place of powerful memory and history. Here rises the legendary His Majesty’s Ship Diamond Rock, once transformed into a British warship and a key defensive post during the Anglo-French conflicts Nearby stands Cape 110, a solemn landmark honoring the enslaved men and women who, in the grip of a devastating hurricane, fought through the night for their survival. I will lead you through these poignant historical sites and breathtaking natural wonders, an experience enriched with a touch of tropical flavors

Your Fort De France tour itinerary

I will lead you to : * The town of Trois-Ilets, Empress Josephine's birthplace. We will unveil the charms of La Poterie Village: formerly a monk's residence, then a sugar refinery, the estate gradually specialized in pottery. It is now home to artisans and various craft shops * The town of Les Anses d'Arlet, an award winner in the "Most Beautiful Village" Contest. Its church, facing the Pier and the blue Caribbean Sea, is now legendary * The village of Le Diamant. I will show you Diamond Rock, a geological and historical curiosity. We will stop at Cape 110 Memorial, where 15 stone Giants stand as Guardians of the Coast. Both landmarks are related to outstanding historical occurrences * I will take you to the village of Sainte-Luce, where we will visit a Rum Distillery and taste one of the most famous rum brands in Martinique
