LE MARIN, SAINTE-ANNE

View pdf version

“The Marin cul-de-sac is the only port that runs from Fort Royal to Pointe des Salines.” This is how the bay of Le Marin was described in 1717, as the crucible of the communes of Le Marin and Sainte-Anne.

This protected area in the south of Martinique features rare traces of a cultural and natural heritage, evidence of the development of Native American cultures and the plantation society at the heart of Martiniquan history.

Jean-Sébastien Guibert is a Senior Lecturer in the History of Modern and Contemporary Worlds at the Université des Antilles Department of History, a specialist in maritime archaeology and history and a member of the AIHP-GEODE EA 929 laboratory.
