hi there,

The main attraction in St Pierre is the ruins since the new town of Saint Pierre Martinique is being built around the old St. Pierre ruins, the ruins can be seen along a walk throughout the entire village.

The top must-see of all the ruins is the old jail, called the cachot de Cyparis, where the sole survivor of the eruption was kept. Some of the other, best preserved ruins are called the Le Figuier and are found inside the Volcano Museum. The museum features a detailed account of the Mount Pelee eruption and showcases many items that were salvaged from both the harbor and the surrounding area.

Hope this helps
