Say bonjour to paradise. Martinique
Welcome to France—but don't expect your picture taken at the Eiffel Tower today. Folks at this island destination may speak French and spend euros, but we're more than 4,000 miles from Paris.
The isle of Martinique in the Caribbean is one of many overseas territories of France. That means not only do locals enjoy the same French citizenship as anyone in European France, but French people from the mainland side can visit these warm blue shores all year without setting foot on foreign soil.
