Martinique

Martinique is an island territory controlled by France in the Caribbean. There are two distinct seasons in the region, rainy and dry, with a climate that stays above 59 Fahrenheit even in extreme cases. Martinique was first claimed by the French around 1658, with its official language being French even today. Although the main religion of the island is some form of Christianity, Encyclopedia Britannica notes that “some people incorporate elements of ‘vodou’ into their beliefs” and some vodou ceremonies are still held today (Encyclopedia Britannica).
