HABITATION BELFORT
Go there and contact
It's unthinkable to stay in Martinique without taking the time to learn a little about bananas, the symbol, along with sugar cane, of the Caribbean islands. Habitation Belfort is a farm that has been established for over thirty years in the commune of Le Lamentin. It specializes in banana cultivation, exporting 90% of its production. It covers an area of over 65 hectares. The aim of the farm is to preserve and perpetuate agricultural activity, and since 2007 it has been awarded the Global Gap label for its sustainable agriculture. The main attraction of this visit is to get inside a real farm that operates on a day-to-day basis, giving you a better understanding of the reality of production. The guided tour lasts around an hour and ends with a tasting of local produce. Last but not least, a banana kid is on hand to help children take an educational tour. After your visit, we recommend a stop at the pretty boutique at the entrance, where you'll find local banana products. The estate is also home to a majestic Creole villa, known as "Les Jardins de Belfort", a dream setting in the middle of the plantation. This villa and the little train are often privatized for seminars, weddings or cultural events. A privileged stopover to discover without delay.

Attention : capacité limitée. Réserver ou arriver à l'avance. Tarif famille pour 5 = 32 €
Ballade très agréable dans l'exploitation agricole. On apprend plein de choses grâce aux commentaires - et aux démonstrations - depuis la production jusqu'à la commercialisation de la banane. Les enfants ont beaucoup aimé.
nous y sommes allés un samedi matin. Il n'y avait pas d'activité sur le site. Juste quelques personnes présentes pour les besoins de la visite touristique. Il est peut être plus intéressant d'y aller en semaine.
Le petit plus : un petit verre de vin de banane et chips de bananes offerts en fin de visite. Le petit bémol : pas de jus pour les enfants et pas de dégustation des bananes locales (dommage..)
