Hanging on the flanks of the Pitons du Carbet, this delightful little commune stretches along a winding road. A haven of peace and fresh air, Fonds Saint-Denis is certainly Martinique's greenest village.
One capital edifice overlooks the commune: the observatoire du Morne des Cadets. Charged with the constant surveillance of the Montagne Pelée and volcanological and seismic research, it houses one of the world's largest seismographs.
Fonds-Saint-Denis is also the crossroads of numerous trailsfor hiking: the Canal de Beauregard, also known as the "slave canal", is one of the most popular with connoisseurs.
The cascade du Saut Gendarme is part of Martinique's remarkable sites.
