Mount Pelée is rarely free of clouds, but that's no problem. The hike I suggest takes you up to the Caldera, where you can enjoy views of Saint-Pierre and Le Prêcheur. The well-maintained path is relatively easy despite the steep slope and rocky sections, and steps make the going easier.

You’ll find trees such as the kapok tree and the red gum tree, as well as a few historical features, such as the two lime kilns. Locally, you can discover a typical fisherman’s hut, made of corrugated iron and wood. The route includes two beaches – one pebbly, the other sandy with turquoise waters – as well as interesting viewpoints over the Galion bays, culminating in a breathtaking 300° panoramic view of the entire bay.
