There are very few signs of America in Martinique. You can find U.S. car rental companies and the ever-ubiquitous Coca-Cola, but even the island’s few McDonald’s restaurants espouse a decidedly French flair, elevating the simple fast food burger to near heights of gourmet gastronomy. This isn’t surprising, of course, owing to Martinique’s status as an overseas region of France, but it does make the simple cottage pictured here with the Stars & Stripes flying overhead all the more curious.
This is La Case des Presidents, one of several points of interest at Habitation Clement, a mixed-use museum, botanical garden, art gallery, and more located on the grounds of the historic Rhum Clement Distillery.
