Saint-Pierre Highly Recommended Highly Recommended Highly Recommended : Michelin's recommendations

Saint-Pierre is no longer the influential 30 000-strong town it used to be, since the fateful eruption of Mount Pelée on 8 May 1902. But Saint-Pierre, a pretty town of 5 000 inhabitants, has risen from its ashes thanks to the tenacity of the locals.
