Saint-Pierre, Martinique

Submitted by ryan.hall on

Designated a “City of Art and History,” Saint-Pierre has many stories to tell. This cultural hub of Martinique was known as the “Paris of the Caribbean” until the eruption of Mount Pelée destroyed the city in 1902. At the Frank A. Perret Museum, founded by an American volcanologist in 1933, fascinating relics, photographs and film tell the history of the catastrophe and Saint-Pierre’s rebirth.

The city of Naples is rich in fascinating history and endless charm along with stunning scenery. With a skyline outlined by towering Mount Vesuvius, the city is bustling and brimming with natural beauty. The lemon trees and olive groves that line the hillsides along the glittering Amalfi Coast beautifully contrast the neoclassical architecture within the city.
