💰 How far does your money go?
A demi in a Paris café costs €7-8. In Martinique, a ti-punch at a beach bar costs about €5, a plate of accras (cod fritters) €5-8 and a fish lunch at a roadside lolo around €15. Same euros, same supermarket brands, but you eat it all with your feet in the sand.
☀️ The Weather
December is the start of the dry season in Martinique. Expect sunny days of 28-29°C, warm nights around 23°C and a sea at 27°C. Short tropical showers still pass through, usually gone within half an hour, and the trade winds keep the heat pleasant.
