Music : techno remix and zouk love.
FRANCAIS : "Morning drive" à travers Fort-de-France, capitale de la Martinique. La Martinique est un département français d'outremer situé dans les Caraïbes. Au programme : autoroute A1(972), rocade RD41, construction des infrastructures du TCSP (Transport collectif en site propre), aperçu de la Tour Lumina (un centre d'affaires de 21 étages situé dans le quartier de la Pointe Simon) et (comme toujours) quelques embouteillages en perspective... Musique : remix techno et zouk love.
La Martinique est certainement le département d'outre-mer qui m'attire le plus allez savoir pourquoi.
Martinais n'oubliez pas, que les Français soient de l'outre-mer ou de la Métropole, noirs ou blancs, nous sommes tous sous le même drapeau !
Amazing, the road signs are the same standard as those in france. Like driving in europe but in the antilles!
Stanley Dougé Because many overseas departments (not just French ones) are often very different than the “parent” country. Different cultures especially.
Pierre DUMONT Yes, we’ve already established that. I’m talking about the culture of Martinique, not its political status.
Pierre DUMONT Sigh. Amazing, you still don’t get it. Let me dumb this down for you. Martinique is in the Caribbean, yes? And the Caribbean island of Martinique was colonized by the French, yes? Are we on the same page? And then, as time passed, Africans were sent to work in the Caribbean as slaves. This means that French culture met African culture. Do you get it now? The culture in European (Metropolitan) France is not exactly the same as Martinique. The people of Martinique don’t just speak French; they speak an Antillean Creole language. Their food and music blends French, African, and Amerindian influences into something unique. It IS a part of France, but it is NOT the same culture. Guam is a part of the United States. So is Puerto Rico. But they have their own unique cultures (Chamorro in Guam and Spanish in Puerto Rico) that aren’t what you’d see in the continental United States. What’s another example? How about Mayotte in the Indian Ocean? It’s also an integral part of France, a département, but 90% of the inhabitants practice Islam and speak Kibushi and Shimaore more than they speak French. I shouldn’t have to explain this to you since you supposedly live there. This isn’t rocket science.
squares4u yes i know I have been to both France (we drove from Nice up to Chartres and Paris) and Martinique and I loved the unique feeling of Martinique, it is different from being in the Europe but the island is very developed and modern..... i would definitely go back and most people can speak French and antilles Creole so itss not a problem
@1st class E.U.Isle[St Bart]-FrenchWestIndies Nope . Alaska and Hawaii are different. Martinique is counted as a separate entity because it is not I France proper
