Rade de St-Pierre PDF Print E-mail

In the town there are pretty shops and very simple restaurants.

The clearing is overlooked by the Pelèe Mountain which is famous for the violent eruption of 1902.

More than an erupion, as we common consider it, it was a real explosion: the mountain blew very rapidly.

Many ships sank then and it’s not difficult to find one of those wrecks that still lay on the sea bed.

It is now remembered like the Pompei of America for the destructive explosion which took place after some days during which there were rublings, sulphur whiffs, snakes and ants invasions were ignored by the authorities

The constructions were destroyed and the victims were 30000, almost all Europeans that here lived.

The destiny wanted that the only survivor was a prisoner who remained 4 days under the ruins of the jail and who was called “the survivor of St.Pierre" all his life long..

During the following years life resumed and the tourism increased. The rhum’s factory is to be visited.
