Baignoire de Joséphine is a must-see tourist site in Martinique, located in the commune of Le François on the Atlantic coast. It owes its name to the fact that, according to legend, Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais, wife of Napoleon 1st, liked to bathe here regularly.

The water is clear and limpid, with a shallow white fond blanc barely a meter deep. This little spot between heaven and earth often leaves a lasting impression.

It is accessible by boat or kayak from Le François. Acras and rum tastings or local cocktails are often offered.

To get there, all you have to do is go to the commune of Le François near the coast, where you'll see the stands of tour operators offering to take you there.

It's possible to go there without making an appointment, except during peak periods when it's strongly recommended to book in advance with a tour operator.
