Habitation Céron in Martinique

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK, NY (June 27, 2016) – A former sugar cane plantation estate dated from 1658, Habitation is now an eco-friendly tourist site located in the outskirts of scenic Le Prêcheur. This natural site offers discovery trail itineraries though majestic gardens and rivers. Its sugar and cassava refinery ruins are still standing, a testament to the island’s remarkable history. Nestled between Martinique’s majestic mountains, fine volcanic black sand beaches, and rivers, the estate backs up against an Integral Biological Reserve. At Habitation Céron, cocoa trees are regularly planted as part of the revival of the cocoa production in Martinique. Once the estate’s cocoa beans are harvested, they are roasted and then ground in order to either make 100% pure cocoa sticks or transformed by “Lauzéa”, a renowned chocolate manufacturer in Martinique, in order to make exceptional chocolates that can be savored at Céron. With its crayfish pools, its cocoa tree plantation, and its vegetables on site, Habitation Céron is ecofriendly and agro-tourism oriented. Boasting its unique location, the onsite restaurant is located in the heart of the rainforest, between the river bank and the beach. Its specialty is its fresh crayfish (fished straight out of the pond and cooked on the griddle), but it also boasts a creative and high quality selection of local produce, from the estate’s home-grown fruit and vegetables to the fishermen’s fresh assortment of fish. For a delicate mix of French and Caribbean style, this is the place to be. Not-to-be-Missed: Habitation Céron is home to 300 year-old famous Zamana tree, classified as the largest visible tree of the Lesser Antilles and nominated for France's tree of the year 2016. Open 7 days a week from 9:30 am to 5 pm. Contact: +596 (0)5 96 48 27 53 / +596 (0)6 96 21 63 78
