Visita da non perdere durante il soggiorno in Martinica, questa antica dimora creola si trova al centro di una tenuta di campagna nel comune agricolo di Saint Francois, un bellissimo parco di 17 ettari, con piante e fiori tropicali. La sua storia ha inizio nella metà del 19° secolo, quando monsieur Clement s’installò qui con la famiglia e cominciò la sua attività di coltivatore della canna da zucchero. Oggi la villa è stata interamente ristrutturata ed aperta al pubblico, dichiarata Monumento Storico dal ministero della Cultura francese. Sono visitabili tutte le stanze private, le camere da letto con arredi originali, l’ampia sala da pranzo con le grandi vetrate, ed i suoi annessi, come le cucine con arnesi dell’epoca e le scuderie. Una parte degli edifici annessi ospitano a volte delle mostre ed esposizioni. La distilleria è da qualche anno nuovamente in funzione, e produce uno dei rhum “vieux” (cioè invecchiati) più prestigiosi della Martinica, il Rhum Clement. Molto interessante da visitare è anche lo spazio dedicato agli antichi macchinari industriali per la distillazione della canna da zucchero, osservabili sia all’interno della distilleria antica, che nel parco della tenuta, come per esempio il trenino che serviva per il trasporto dei materiali. Dulcis in fundo, non si può non fermarsi allo shop della distilleria, in cui si possono degustare ed acquistare i vari tipi di rhum e ce n’è per tutte le tasche: I prezzi vanno dalla più “economica” a 40 euro fino agli 800 euro a bottiglia! Aperto tutti i giorni con orario continuato.

A part of the outbuildings of the house sometimes shows and exhibitions. The distillery is from a few years back on again, and produces one of the rum "vieux" (ie aged), the most prestigious of Martinique, Rhum Clement. Very interesting place to visit is also a space dedicated to the ancient industrial machinery for the distillation of sugar cane, observable both within the old distillery, which in the grounds of the estate, such as the train that was used for the transport of materials. Last but not least, you can not stop at the distillery shop, where you can taste and buy different types of rum and there is something for every budget: Prices range from the most "economic" to 40 € up to 800 euro a bottle! Open every day without a lunch break.

What to do!

A faire!

C’est une activité typique à faire quand on visite l’île : une rhumerie ! L’habitation Clément est un grand domaine alors prevoyez l’après-midi. On commence par une balade dans un grand parc aux variétés diverses d’arbres et fleurs. On passe dans le hangar aux machines à distiller le rhum et on en profite pour s’abriter de la petite tempête. On visite l’habitation surplombant le domaine avec candeur. Et on termine bien sûr par le moment tant attendu : la dégustation de rhum et les achats !
This is a typical activity to do when visiting the island: a distillery! The house Clément is a great area then are planning afternoon. It starts with a ride in a large park with various species of trees and flowers. It happens in the hangar machines distilling rum and the opportunity to shelter from the small storm. We visit the home overlooking the area with candor. And of course it ends well for the long-awaited moment: the rum tasting and shopping!

Un détour incontournable en martinique, l'Habitation Clément. Ce musée du Rhum est certainement le plus interessant de l'île et le plus visité. Mitterand, Chirac et de nombreuses personnalités y ont d'ailleurs été invitées comme vous pourrez voir sur les photos présentées dans l'ancienne demeure de maître. Au cœur des plantations de cannes à sucre, vous pourrez visiter l'ancienne distillerie restaurée en 2005, ainsi que plusieurs salles d'art où exposent différents artistes contemporains pour la Fondation Clément.
