This unique village pays tribute to the knowledge of the Ancients and tells the tumultuous history of the island. A remarkable duty of memory!
La Savane des Esclaves, nestled in the countryside of Trois-Ilets in Martinique, is the fruit of Gilbert Larose's determination. Passionate about the history of his island, he created this village museum, dedicated to his Kalinagos and slave ancestors. On a three-hectare wooded plot, he cleared and rebuilt traditional huts using local materials. An emotionally-charged historical immersion into the past and heritage that make Martinique so rich. Allow 1h30 for the visit, no reservations required. A must-see.

Une belle vidéo explicative de 30 minutes vous met dans les traces de ce devoir de mémoire voulu par Gilbert Larose.
Ensuite, vous passez d'époque en époque pour essayer de comprendre la vie des anciens. Tout est bien agencé dans des jardins magnifiques avec à chaque fois un beau point de vue, une belle photo à faire.
Finissez par une dégustation de jus exquis en haut du village tout en profitant de la vue sur celui-ci.
Grandiose! Merci Mr Larose pour ces 10aines d'années consacrées à ce site.
Un’importante scoperta per approfondire la storia antillaise , le origini del popolo della martinique e soprattutto un’utilissima testimonianza della tragica schiavitù che ha segnato parte della storia di quest’Isola.
Una toccante immersione nelle vite degli schiavi attraverso le loro “case” , un giardino e piantagioni emblematiche.
Infine si può concludere la visita gustando una crêpe o un succo o un té buonissimo!
Grazie a chi ha speso tempo , soldi e duro lavoro per rendere questa parentesi tragica della storia conoscibile a tutti nel modo più ottimale!
