This distillery is on the main highway from Lamentin to Trois Riveres. It is a working distillery, but not the most photogenic. However, if it is your only opportunity to see a working distillery, it is representative. There are placards that describe the rum- making process, but this is not nearly as fun as seeing it at a working distillery. This was the site of a meeting between Presidents Bush and Mitterrand after the Gulf War, so you can have your picture taken on the same porch they did.
Photographs are available.
On the slopes of Mont Pelee, this distillerie and estate are a wonderful excursion to add to a visit to Saint-Pierre. The distillerie is very modern, so you cannot see the foam at the top of the fermentation tanks, but the self- guided tour is interesting. A small snack bar provides very welcome shade. The rum is very good and the views are spectacular. Photographs are available.
