La Savane des Esclaves
An open-air historical village on the outskirts of Les Trois-Îlets, with reconstructed huts and vegetable gardens from the Taíno, slavery, and post-emancipation eras. It tells the people's history of Martinique.
La Savane des Esclaves was built from the 2000s onward by local resident Gilbert Larrios on family land. Using reconstructed huts, wooden houses, sugarcane fields, and Creole vegetable gardens, it tells the story of daily life and resistance, from the Caribbean Indigenous peoples and the slavery period to ordinary people in Martinique after emancipation. It also displays traditional medicinal herbs and farming methods. The site is spread across a hillside, and guided tours (mainly in French) are available. Traditional snacks such as cassava cakes are sold at stalls near the exit. Admission costs about 10 euros. Located on the outskirts of Les Trois-Îlets, it is about 15 minutes' drive from Pointe du Bout.
