From Ste-Anne, we spend an evening in Grande Anse d'Arlet before setting sail for the North of the island, St-Pierre ...at the feet of Mount Pelee. St-Pierre, a town with a lingering malaise and fascination with its vulcanoe which erupted in 1902, literally pulverizing its 30,000 inhabitants as well as all ships lying in its anchorage...its numerous ruins still evoke the catastrophy that destroyed this town. A peaceful landscape which hides the danger of Pelee's potential for antoher eruption...

Apres une courte escale a Grande Anse d'Arlet, nous mettions le cap sur St-Pierre, au nord de l'ile. St-Pierre et sa montagne Pelee...evoque encore et toujours la catastrophe de l'eruption volcanique de 1902 qui fit perir par axphysie ou carbonisation pres de 30,000 personnes ainsi que tous les bateaux qui mouillaient dans son port. Le merveilleux paysage est trompeur..car Pelee pourrait bien faire eruption ...encore une fois.
