What should I pack when moving to Fort-de-France?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Fort-de-France to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Fort-de-France, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack a swimsuit and beach towel for the beautiful beaches. If you plan on hiking or exploring the natural parks, pack sturdy walking shoes and insect repellent. Rain gear, such as a lightweight raincoat or umbrella, is also recommended as sudden rain showers are common. Pack your necessary toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. Don't forget to bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as the plug type in Martinique may be different from your home country. Bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Lastly, consider packing a French phrasebook or dictionary, as French is the official language of Martinique," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Fort-de-France, Martinique.
