The Habitation Belfort is undoubtedly a stronghold on the island of Martinique. Thus, upon arrival, a small train welcomes you on board for a guided tour of its banana plantation. From then on, you will enjoy a privileged view of the whole estate, its buildings and the river that runs through it. To ensure that the visit goes smoothly and in the best conditions, the train is equipped with protection in case of bad weather or rain.
