Up there, a breathtaking view awaits us. 360° of landscapes between Mount Pelée, Dominica Island, Atlantic Ocean, Martinique Coast and of course the Caravelle Peninsula. We can observe the superb Baie du Trésor where we will have a picnic. We then recover the trail to explore a real mosaic of landscapes, cliffs torn by the waves, lunar course on andesite, dry forest and finally mangrove... At picnic time, a swim in the clear waters of this well-sheltered Bay is a must.
