La Martinique a une histoire ! Aujourd'hui la ville du Robert

Le Robert, with its Rue du Père Labat... One of the rare, exceptional places where Father Labat has been given a public name. From the islets to the hills, from encroaching urban life to resilient rural life. Le Robert, known for its yole champions, tells the story of the first inhabitants of Cabesterre, the French conquest, the first settlements, the large plantations, the central factory, the sugar baron, the conquest of the sea, the fishermen-farmers, and the adoption of the gum tree for the yole. Le Robert unfolds with bays, islets, coves, lush coastal plains, and hills, sometimes contrasting with Vert Pré. Le Robert: an industrial site, an economic site, a sporting site, a historical and cultural site with its slave dungeon. The History of Cabesterre... Stories of Men Who Stand Tall... Political, Cultural, and Economic History... Le Robert... A First Name... A Last Name? The history of Le Robert, told by our historian and researcher, Ms. François Haugrin, and Mr. Jean Louis Fonsat
