Trois-Îlets

The commune of Trois-Ilets is located in the southwest of Martinique, on le Diamant Peninsula with a panoramic view of the bay of Fort-de-France. Being crossed by the road of the Anses, the town of Trois-Îlets is accessible both by car, but also by shuttle boat from Fort-de-France! The shuttles are a real mode of public transportation that the locals also used to get to work, for example.

The commune positions itself on four urban points of interest:

• L’anse à l’Ane (beach with an exceptional view of the islet ramier)
• Mitan cove (central beach)
• The village, composed of the administrative buildings and the church of Trois-Ilets
• La Pointe du Bout (peninsular beach facing the bay of Fort-de-France)

The village has kept a pictorial charm quite different from the other towns on the island. It thus shelters the oldest pottery manufacturing company which created the tiles and bricks that characterize the village.

It is also in Les Trois Ilets, that Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de La Pagerie was born, which will give the domain of La Pagerie and today, the Museum of La Pagerie.

She had a remarkable destiny that began at the age of 16, when she left Martinique to marry Alexandre de Beauharnais. Her husband was executed during the Terror. To learn more about the Museum of La Pagerie, the colonialist history of the family of Josephine and the island of Martinique, you will find a set of information on the site universalis.fr.
