Five kilometers north of Saint-Pierre, a sign indicates the direction to this enormous rock. Legend has it that the valiant Caribbean chiefs preferred to throw themselves off this cliff, after swallowing a violent poison, rather than be enslaved by the French colonists. No one knows if this legend is true, leaving only large engraved rocks that can still be deciphered. Nevertheless, it is here that Native Indian memory is regularly honored by certain independence groups.

note sombre sur la route du Précheur
Petit site étiré tout au bord de la route avant d'arriver au Précheur, le paysage sublime ce "tombeau caraibes", mais son origine rend l'endroit émouvant ; simplicité et originalité pour cette place de la Réconciliation (le plus gros rocher)

Émouvant mémorial qui fait écho à la disparition tragique des premiers habitants de l'île. Autour du rocher se trouve des poteaux blancs avec des visages sculptés. Sur chaque poteau est inscrit une phrase dédiée à chaque commune de la Martinique. Sur la route menant à la commune du Précheur, le mémorial est face à la mer.
