Martinique: A Virtual Trip to the Caribbean

At Online Event via Zoom

As part of our Mois de la Francophonie celebration, we thought that a virtual trip to Martinique could be a nice change of scenery to escape New England’s winter.

Did you know that Martinique is divided into four arrondissements and 34 communes? Join our French travel guide, Véronique Banzet to learn more about the beautiful French island of Martinique.

Do sunny beaches, rum cocktails, and spicy dishes make you dream of jumping on a plane to bury your feet in the white sand while listening to the crashing of the waves? This event is meant for you!

Véronique will be glad to answer all your questions.
