THEME : Where I live.....

2008.04.22
I live in a small village, Anse Madame, in Schoelcher, Martinique. F.W.I. It is situated on the coast and looks out on the Caribbean sea.
J'habite un petit village, Anse Madame, Schoelcher, Martinique, aux Antilles. C'est sur la côte Caraibes.

This is "my " beach! (if I can put it that way!)
Ceci est "ma" plage(façon de parler!)

The new esplanade(not finished yet!)
La nouvelle esplanade.

The small river which leads to the sea.
La petite rivière qui mène à la mer.

A little further along the beach, two minutes from my home, is the centre of Schoelcher.
A deux minutes de chez moi, se trouve le bourg de Schoelcher.
This is Victor Schoelcher's statue.
C'est la statue de Victor Schoelcher.

"Never again will there be slaves on any French territory."

The church
L'église

The Town Hall
La Mairie

The beach "au bourg"!

A great playing area for kids, with a good place to eat on the left--The Blue Fish.
La place de Schoelcher. Et sur la gauche--The Blue Fish, un restaurant bien sympa!

It's a shame about the barriers!
C'est dommage pour les barrières!

There are old houses...
Il y a de vieilles maisons.....

And new....
Et des nouvelles

I wonder who lives in the blue and white house?!
Je me demande qui habite la maison bleue et blanche?!

I'm sure the tea is brewing for those who would like a cup!
Je suis sûre qu'il ya du thé prêt pour ceux qui en veulent!

This is certainly a far cry from Liverpool and Newcastle where I was born and bred! But don't get me wrong---I love England just as much!

Gwen972 Mon image première de Schoelcher: c'est l'université:))
Mais je dois avouer que cette commune à tout de meme un vrai succès chez les jeunes comme pour les plus agés, notamment pour sa place qui reste l'une des plus animée.:))
Merci pour cette petite visite guidée!!

joycephotography Do you want to trade places for a month or maybe a year. I'm jealous.
