LE DOME - GRANDE SAVANE
Go there and contact
Located at an altitude of 700 meters, the Domaine Martiniquais d'Expérimentation (DoME) of Grande Savane in Prêcheur is dedicated to the mountain Pelee in cohesion with the management plan of the classified site of the northwestern slopes of the mountain Pelee. It is very active in the research of the environment and the heritage little exploited until now, constituted of a covered space and a museographic course with information on the fauna, the flora, the pedology, the meteorology…
The starting point of the shuttle that leads to the site is located in the village of Le Prêcheur. On the spot, you'lldiscover the 360° view on the belvedere, from the Caribbean Sea to the top of the mount Pelée, then go to the Lacroix area where you'll discover the history of mount Pelée, but also that of Grande Savane and its first inhabitants.
The visit continues on the outside ramp that winds above the Grande Savane hiking trail. You'll circulate through the trees, discovering different species of birds, animal species of the past, some of which can still be observed. The tour also deals with the construction of the landscape through the different eruptions that built the landscape as we see it today.
The visit lasts between 2 and 4 hours. We recommend you bring walking shoes, or at least sneakers, and to have clothes adapted for walking in the middle of nature.
There is also a rest area, a store, and a heliport.

Le guide est extra, une approche très pédagogique et très intéressante.
Nous sommes répartis plus riches de connaissance sur la Pelée et l'histoire de la Martinique en général.
Un personnel accueillant tant au bourg du Prêcheur que sur le site.
Il faut vraiment privilégier la navette car la route est particulièrement escarpée mais le chauffeur maîtrise avec zenitude le parcours.
1 regret : il pleuvait et nous n'avons pas pu faire la randonnée.
Nous reviendrons quand les hébergements auront ouvert!
Une superbe rencontre avec un point de vue magnifique même par temps mitigé
Encore merci pour avoir occupé notre matinée !!
