    Another stereotyped video about the French West Indies. With exotic rural scenes, despite Martinique being highly urbanized.
    They could have shown what Europe mainly does on these islands : granting fundings for expressways, hospitals, small businesses' development, etc.

    I would love to visit Martinique or Guadeloupe, so if someone would like to invite me I am happy to help also at home or in the garden. J'aussi parle français.

      @@mollymo6229 Merci, back then I was looking for a workaway-like opportunity in Martinique. I still want to go.

    Great program. Didn't know that about the bananas. Would it be possible to find out the name of the music track at the very end of the video? I tried to Shazam it but it found no results. Very catchy tropical-celtic fusion sound!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!

    Ah, I don't care about the damn bananas or the damn climate change. Show me the sights, scenery and traditional villages.

    I found it very expensive and the people not very friendly. Sorry.

    Only the most ignorant of poseurs pronounces the proper nouns in a different language than the rest of the sentence. I made it to 3:20 before I had to turn it off👎

    May I ask how can a foreigner work and sustain his living at Martin please?

    Funny France wants to hang on to its global possessions yet it takes and takes from them and ignores the issues that affects them until the talk of more autonomy or independence comes into the conversation. Seems like a one way British Empire type relationship to me.

      They want to hang on to France themselves. When colonialism was abolished 50 years ago, they voted to remain part of France, because they saw what happened to Haiti.

      I believe the people there were consulted about independence or remaining with France, and the vast majority have chosen to remain part of France. By the way, the standard of living in the island, although not that big, still is much better than say Haiti or Guyana, it has better infrastructure and education, and its politically stable.

    Funny how Europeans sugarcoat their colonies but are quick to denounce other countries on allegations of colonialism
