Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (FDF)
FDF to La Savane: one airport taxi on a regulated tariff, 20–45 minutes depending on the Lamentin traffic — the risk is a late landing when the rank thins out, not the distance.

Rules in force · 6
- Martinique ↗Entry follows French rules for overseas departments, which can differ from mainland France and the Schengen area: check official French sources for your passport.
- Martinique ↗Sargassum seaweed can pile up on some Atlantic-facing beaches, mainly in spring and summer: check conditions before booking a beach base.
- Martinique ↗Do not touch or shelter under manchineel trees (often marked with red paint): the sap and fruit are toxic.
- Fort-de-France area ↗Ferries to the southern shore run on a set daily schedule: check the last return before you cross.
- Fort-de-France ↗Many shops and restaurants in the centre close at midday and on Sundays: check hours before you plan a lunch.
- Fort-de-France ↗During Carnival (dates move with Easter) the centre closes to cars and many shops shut on parade days: plan a different route.
